Message of the CEO and CFO

Carlos López-Abadia, Atento´s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “I am thrilled to join Atento’s team and take on the opportunity to lead our Company into its next phase of growth. Atento is a market leader with a 20-year track record of providing superior solutions and service to our clients. I joined Atento because of these strengths and the significant opportunity we have in front of us. Looking forward, I believe Atento needs to chart a path toward accelerating our revenue and profit growth trajectory. As part of this endeavor, we need to improve our strategies, sharpen our execution, and optimize our cost structure in order to better serve our customers, further capitalize on our market opportunities, and ultimately increase earnings predictability and expand profitability. We are putting a robust plan in place to achieve these goals, and I firmly believe that our Company has a strong foundation to reach our objectives while increasing the value we generate for our clients, employees, shareholders and the community.”

Mauricio Montilha, Atento´s Chief Financial Officer, said, “We delivered strong performance in our Brazil operations in the fourth quarter. Our flagship operation remains at the forefront of Atento’s profitable growth strategy and delivered 11.4% year-over-year revenue growth with a substantial margin improvement both sequentially and YoY. In the Americas, we continued to see challenging business environments in Argentina and Mexico. In 2019, our priorities will include accelerating our investments in innovation, expanding our digital offerings and executing initiatives that drive increased operational and cost efficiencies in our business in order to position Atento to deliver improved growth and margins in the coming years. The Company has temporarily deferred providing 2019 guidance so that it can further analyze its strategies and initiatives to achieve our long-term objectives. We plan to provide an update on our guidance policies on our first quarter 2019 earnings call in May. ”

Fourth Quarter Consolidated Operating Results

All comparisons in this announcement, unless otherwise noted, are year-over-year and in constant-currency (CCY).

Consolidated revenues increased 4.4% to $421.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, driven by a 11.4% growth in Brazil, offset by a 5.7% decrease in Americas.

Revenue growth in the quarter was fueled by higher volumes with existing clients in Brazil and new clients in Spain, partially offset by lower volumes in Americas.

On a full-year basis, revenues grew 4.3% to $1,818.2 million.

Revenues from Multisector clients increased 6.2%, with Brazil up 13.0% and Americas down 5.0%. On a full-year basis, revenues from Multisector clients increased 6.1% and represented 61.0% of revenues.

Revenues from higher value-added solutions were 28.0% of total in the quarter and 26.6% in FY 2018, vs 25.9% in FY 2017.

Revenues from Telefónica increased 2.2% in the quarter and 1.6% in FY 2018. Atento remains Telefónica’s reference partner for CRM/BPO services.

EBITDA margin of 9.2% in Q4 and 10.2% in FY 2018 includes $10.0 of million one-off costs related to changes in management. Excluding this effect, EBITDA margin would have been 11.6% in Q4, driven by strong margin expansion in Brazil. For FY 2018 EBITDA margin would have been 10.7%, slightly below guidance as discussed during our Q3 2018 earnings call.

Recurring net income was $15.7 million in Q4, or $0.21 per share, including impacts of mark-to-market related to hedge instruments, one-off costs related to changes in management and adjustments for hyperinflation accounting in Argentina, as follows:

1. Negative impact of $3.3 million pre-tax resulting from a mark-to-market of the Real/US dollar hedge related to the interest of Atento’s 2022 senior secured notes.
2. Negative impact of $10.0 million pre-tax costs related to changes in management.
3. Positive $10.1 million impact due to adjustments in Argentina related to the application of the IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies. This impact is mainly explained by the effects of monetary correction of the goodwill generated in December 1, 2012 from the acquisition of the Customer Relationship Management (“CRM”) business from Telefónica.Adjusted earnings, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures and are reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in the accompanying financial tables.
4. Excluding these effects, Q4 2018 recurring EPS would have been $0.19. On a full-year basis, recurring net income increased 24.6% to $57.2 million, or $0.77 per share.

Segment Reporting

Brazil

Atento delivered a strong fourth quarter 2018 in its flagship operation as a result of operational improvements made in 1H18. Brazil’s operations remain at the forefront of Atento’s profitable growth strategy and digital transformation, with encouraging results in 2H18 following changes in local leadership.

Atento Brazil’s solutions factory is helping accelerate the Group’s move into digital services and leading the standardization and roll out of digital solutions (Data Driven Digital Sales, Data Driven Customer Care, Digital Back Office, Digital Collections), as well as the Analytics and Business Process Consulting offerings. On this front, Atento continued delivering digital solutions to Telefonica Group in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Revenues in Brazil expanded 11.4% during the fourth quarter to $213.2 million and 5.9% in full-year 2018, as multisector clients continued driving sales growth.

Financial Services clients drove a 13.0% YoY increase in Multisector sales, leading the way for the Group in revenue diversification. In full-year 2018, revenues from Multisector clients increased 6.7%, reaching 69.6% of total sales, a growth of 0.5 p.p. YoY.

On a quarterly and full-year basis, revenues from Telefónica increased 7.6% and 3.9%, respectively, representing 30.4% of total revenue in Brazil in FY 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 2.0 p.p. sequentially to 13.9% and 0.7 p.p. YoY, reflecting the operational improvements made in the first half of 2018.

Key achievement during the fourth quarter includes:

• Joint-study by Mckinsey and Valor Economico recognized Atento as one of the companies with the highest digital maturity level in Brazil and number one in Telecommunications and Technology (click here for full details)

Americas Region

In the Americas region, revenue decreased 5.7% YoY to $150.6 million, while increasing 3.5% in full-year. The decrease in the fourth quarter was driven by lower volumes mainly in Argentina and Mexico from challenging business environments. As in previous quarters, we continued to experience revenue and margins pressures in the telco space, mainly in the more massive CRM, impacting some specific countries, such as Peru. Performance in the Financial Services sector was driven primarily by higher volumes in Chile and offset by weaker volumes in Mexico.

Due mainly to these factors, Multisector revenue in the Americas declined 5.0% in Q4 2018. In full-year, Multisector sales increased 5.4%, implying a 1.2 p.p. improvement as percentage of total sales in the region to 59.2%.

Telefónica revenue decreased 5.8% in the quarter. On a full-year basis, Telefónica revenues increased 0.8%, representing 40.8% of total Americas revenues in the period.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $6.7 million, with the margin declining 5.8 p.p. to 4.5% in the fourth quarter, and includes the most part of the one-off costs related to changes in management. Excluding this effect, Adjusted EBITDA margin would have been 9.5% in Q4 and 11.4% in full-year basis (+0.4 p.p. YoY).

Key achievement during the fourth quarter includes:

Atento´s continued its commitment to provide a healthy and inclusive environment, which led the company to be awarded as One of the Best Place to Work in Peru, Argentina and Uruguay (click here for full details).

EMEA Region

Revenue in the EMEA region grew 9.3% over last year’s fourth quarter 2017 to $59.8 million. The growth was driven by a 9.9% increase in Telefónica revenue, primarily due to a lower YoY comparison base resulting from one-off negative impacts in Q4 2017 and an 8.4% rise in Multisector sales, supported by new clients. On a full-year basis, EMEA revenue increased 2.7%.

For the full-year period, Multisector revenue rose 2.1 p.p. to 39.9% of the region’s sales.

Adjusted EBITDA for the EMEA region decreased 18.9%, with the margin at 4.7%. On a full-year basis, profitability improved 1.5 p.p. to 8.1%, in line with the expected normalized margin level between 8-9%. This margin expansion was primarily due to higher Multisector volumes, especially non-Telefónica telco clients.

Key achievement during the fourth quarter includes:

During the fourth quarter, Atento was granted the Customer Service Award of Best Customer Outsourcer in Spain for its services to Endesa. The CRC Gold Awards, granted by the Spanish Association of Customer Relationship Experts (AEERC), IFAES and IZO The Experience Design Company, have become the benchmark awards in the customer relationship sector in Spain and a mark of quality and excellence (click here for full details).

Cash Flow and Capital Structure

During the fourth quarter, Atento generated Free Cash Flow before interest and acquisitions of $45.2 million, with a positive Free Cash Flow of $41.0 million. On a full-year basis, Free Cash Flow before interest and acquisitions amounted to $88.8 million.

Cash capex accounted for 2.3% of revenues in full-year 2018, below the guidance of 3.5-4.0%, and compares to 3.2% in full-year 2017. The decrease is mainly explained by the optimization of the utilization rate.

Full-year EBITDA-to-cash conversion improved 9.9 p.p. to 48.1%, ending the year above the guidance on higher than expected revenue anticipation from clients in the last quarter of the year.

At the end of December 2018, Atento held cash and cash equivalents of $133.5 million and available revolving credit facilities of $95.8 million, implying total liquidity of $229.3 million.

Atento’s net debt decreased 9.7% sequentially to $326.2 million, while gross debt stood at $459.8 million. Net leverage remained stable on a sequential basis at 1.8x in the fourth quarter.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

The following selected financial information should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements and the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” presented elsewhere in the Form 6-K.

(*) We define non-recurring items as items that are limited in number, clearly identifiable, unusual, are unlikely to be repeated in the near future in the ordinary course of business and that have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations. Non-recurring items can be summarized as demonstrated below:

1. Restructuring costs primarily included restructuring activities and other personnel costs that were not related to our core results of operations. Restructuring costs for the year ended December 31, 2016 are compounded of two main concepts: i) investments to lower our variable cost structure, which is mostly labor and ii) investments to drive a more sustainable lower-cost and competitive operating model. Both were direct response to the exceptional and severe adverse macroeconomic conditions in key markets such as Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Puerto Rico, which drove significant declines in volume. The restructuring program carried out in 2017 to adjust the indirect costs structure has been finalized in the fourth quarter of 2017. In 2018 we did not have any restructuring costs.
2. Restructuring costs for the three months and year ended December 31, 2017, primarily relate to the costs to adapt the organization in Argentina and Brazil to the lower level of activities and the investments made in Brazil, Mexico and Spain to implement a lower-cost operating model.
3. Site relocation costs incurred in the year ended December 31, 2016 include costs associated with our strategic initiative to relocate call centers from tier 1 cities to tier 2 cities in Brazil to achieve efficiencies through lower rental costs, attrition and absenteeism. Site relocation costs incurred for the year ended December 31, 2016 are related to the investments in Brazil, to relocate and consolidate our sites from higher to lower costs locations. This program started in 2014 when 53 percent of our sites were in Tier 2 cities. We have not invested in this program for the three months and year ended December 31, 2017 and 2018 as it was completed in 2016.
4. On November 8, 2016 the CVI nominal value of ARS666.8 million, or $135.6 million, was terminated. As a result, during the fourth quarter we recognized a gain of $41.7 million in “Other gains” representing the principle amount of the CVI.
5. Other non-recurring items for three months and year ended December 31, 2016 refer mainly to other costs with the sale of Morocco operation related to the accrual of the reserve in amount of $3.1 million as guarantee to the buyer for potential indemnity related to eventual liability assessed from the period before the sale. Other non-recurring items for three months and year ended December 31, 2017, mainly refer to consulting and other non-recurring costs. In 2018 we did not have any other non-recurring items.

(*) We define non-recurring items as items that are limited in number, clearly identifiable, unusual, are unlikely to be repeated in the near future in the ordinary course of business and that have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations. Non-recurring items can be summarized as demonstrated below:

1. Amortization of acquisition related intangible assets represents the amortization expense of customer base, recorded as intangible assets. This customer base represents the fair value (within the business combination involving the acquisition of control of Atento Group) of the intangible assets arising from service agreements (tacit or explicitly formulated in contracts) with Telefónica Group and with other customers.
2. Restructuring costs primarily included restructuring activities and other personnel costs that were not related to our core results of operations. Restructuring costs for the year ended December 31, 2016 are compounded of two main concepts: i) investments to lower our variable cost structure, which is mostly labor and ii) investments to drive a more sustainable lower-cost and competitive operating model. Both were direct response to the exceptional and severe adverse macroeconomic conditions in key markets such as Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Puerto Rico, which drove significant declines in volume. The restructuring program carried out in 2017 to adjust the indirect costs structure has been finalized in the fourth quarter of 2017. In 2018 we did not have any restructuring costs.
3. Restructuring costs for the three months and year ended December 31, 2017, primarily relate to the costs to adapt the organization in Argentina and Brazil to the lower level of activities and the investments made in Brazil, Mexico and Spain to implement a lower-cost operating model.
4. Site relocation costs incurred in the year ended December 31, 2016 include costs associated with our strategic initiative to relocate call centers from tier 1 cities to tier 2 cities in Brazil to achieve efficiencies through lower rental costs, attrition and absenteeism. Site relocation costs incurred for the year ended December 31, 2016 are related to the investments in Brazil, to relocate and consolidate our sites from higher to lower costs locations. This program started in 2014 when 53 percent of our sites were in Tier 2 cities. We have not invested in this program for the three months and year ended December 31, 2017 and 2018 as it was completed in 2016.
5. Other non-recurring items for three months and year ended December 31, 2016 refer mainly to other costs with the sale of Morocco operation related to the accrual of the reserve in amount of $3.1 million as guarantee to the buyer for potential indemnity related to eventual liability assessed from the period before the sale. Other non-recurring items for three months and year ended December 31, 2017, mainly refer to consulting and other non-recurring costs. In 2018 we did not have any other non-recurring items.
6. Since April 1, 2015, the Company designated the foreign currency risk on certain of its subsidiaries as net investment hedges using financial instruments as the hedging items. As a consequence, any gain or loss on the hedging instrument, related to the effective portion of the hedge is recognized in other comprehensive income (equity) as from that date. The gains or losses related to the ineffective portion are recognized in the statements of operations and for comparability, and those adjustments are added back to calculate Adjusted Earnings. In 2018 the loss is related to negative mark-to-market adjustments on certain hedge instruments and the amount was reclassified to finance costs.
7. On November 8, 2016 the CVI nominal value of ARS666.8 million, or $135.6 million, was terminated. As a result, during the fourth quarter we recognized a gain of $41.7 million in “Other gains” representing the principle amount of the CVI.
8. Financial non-recurring relates to the costs incurred in the debt refinance process occurred in August 2017, which includes: (i) 2020 Senior Secured Notes call premium of $11.1 million and amortization of issuance costs of $4.9 million; (ii) Brazilian debentures due 2019 penalty fee of $0.7 million and remaining balance of the issuance cost of $1.0 million. In 2018 we did not have any non-recurring financial expenses.
9. Non-recurring depreciation relates to the provision for accelerated depreciation of fixed assets in Puerto Rico and Mexico, due to the natural disasters. In 2018 we did not have any non-recurring depreciation.
10. The tax effect represents the impact of the taxable adjustments based on tax nominal rate by country. For the year ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, the effective tax rate after moving non-recurring items was 37.3%, 34.4% and 30.5%, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, the effective tax rate after moving non-recurring items was 36.0% and 31.4%, respectively.
11. (**) Adjusted Earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding (that exclude the treasury shares) of 73,909,056 as of December 31, 2016 and 2017 and 73,841,447 for three months ended December 31,2018, respectively.

Financing Arrangements

Net debt with third parties as of December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 is as follow:

1. In considering our financial condition, our management analyzes Net debt with third parties, which is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt with third parties is not a measure defined by IFRS and it has limitations as an analytical tool. Net debt with third parties is neither a measure defined by or presented in accordance with IFRS nor a measure of financial performance, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative financial measure determined in accordance with IFRS. Net debt is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
2. Adjusted EBITDA LTM (Last Twelve Months) is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude restructuring costs, site relocation costs and other items not related to our core results of operations.

Cash Flow:

1. We define Operating Cash flow as Net Cash flow from/(used in) operating activities (as per 6K) adding back net interest and income tax expenses.
2. Does not consider acquisitions
3. Interest payments related to the 2022 SSN are done every February and August, until Bond maturity in August 2022. Q1 2018 includes hedge adjustments of negative $3.1 million and withholding taxes of negative $1.6 million, versus hedge adjustments of positive $1.5 million and no withholding taxes in Q1 2017.
4. Interest payments related to the 2022 SSN are done every February and August, until Bond maturity in August 2022. Therefore, settlement of hedging instruments will impact Q1 and Q3 Net Financial Expenses cashflow of each year. Q3 2017 includes one-off gains of~$25million from unwinding existing hedge instruments related to the debt refinance process.
