Operator

Thank you all for standing by and welcome to the TTEC's Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2017 Earnings Conference Call. I would like to remind all parties that you will be in a listen-only mode until the question and answer session. This call is being recorded at the request of TTEC. I would now like to turn the call over to Mr. Paul Miller, TTEC Senior Vice President, Treasurer and Investor Relations Officer. Thank you, sir, you may now begin.

Paul Miller -- Senior Vice President, Treasurer, and Investor Relations Officer

Good morning and thank you for joining us today. TTEC is hosting this call to discuss its fourth quarter, and inform you of the financial results for the periods ended December 31, 2017. Participating on today's call are, Ken Tuchman, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Regina Paolillo, our Chief Financial and Administrative Officer.

Yesterday, TTEC issued a press release announcing its financial results. While this call will reflect items discussed within that documents, we encourage all listeners to read our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Before we begin, I want to remind you that matters discussed in today's call may include forward-looking statements related to our operating performance, financial goals, and business outlook, which are based on management's current beliefs and assumptions. Please note that these forward-looking statements reflect our opinion as of the date of this call, and we undertake no obligation to revise this information as a result of new that may occur.

Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expected and described today. Such factors include, but are not limited to, reliance on several large clients, the risks associated with large -- lower profitability from or the loss of one or more significant clients, execution risks associated with ramping new business or integrating acquired businesses, the possibility of asset impairments or restructuring charges, as well as the potential impact to the financial results due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, or legislative developments in the United States or other countries where we do business.

For a more detailed description of our risk factors, please review our Annual Report on Form 10-K. A replay of this conference call will be available on our website under the Investor Relations section.

I now turn the call over to Ken Tuchman, TTEC's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Ken Tuchman -- Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Thanks, Paul, and good morning everyone. We appreciate your participation on today's TTEC earning's call. 2017 was a busy and productive year. We gained momentum on numerous fronts and achieved and exceeded many significant and meaningful milestones. My comments today will begin with a review of our 2017 financial and business highlights. I'll then share key 2018 focus areas to accelerate our position as a leading global technology and services partner focused exclusively on the design, implementation, and delivery of transformative customer experience. After my comments, I'll turn the call over to Regina for review of the company's financials and 2018 outlook.

Let's begin with our financial highlights for the full year, which exceeded our guidance for revenue and operating income margin. 2017 GAAP revenue was a record $1.48 billion, up 15.8% over the prior year. 2017 adjusted operating income, which excludes restructure, integration, and asset impairments, was also a record $120.5 million, up 35% over the prior year. Our booking steadily increased over the year, resulting in full-year 2017 new signings of $442 million, an increase of 4.7% over 2016. Booking's also remained well diversified among industries, geographies, and segments.

Regarding our business highlights in 2017, we added many significant new marquee clients to our portfolio in 2017 and increased the number of clients that are taking services across multiple segments by 25%. Many of these new clients will provide us with a strong growth engine for 2018 and beyond.

We significantly strengthened our core offering with innovative new digital solutions and streamlined organizational structure that weaves these advanced capabilities across our Humanify Customer Engagement as a service platform. We completed and integrated two strategic acquisitions; both broadened our capabilities, expanded our geographic footprint, increased our global client base, and added further scale to our end-to-end platform.

Our acquisition of healthcare services Provider Connections, a former division of United Healthcare Group, allowed us to bring significant scale to our healthcare vertical. Through the acquisition, we added several new payer and provider clients to our portfolio, as well as new industry-specific capabilities including a proprietary cloud CRM platform which is being used heavily by several of our large healthcare clients.

The Motif acquisition broadened our services to include trust and safety, and content moderation, while simultaneously expanding our footprint into India and in the Philippines. As digital interactions become core to our everyday lives, fraud prevention has become essential to creating and maintaining trusted customer relationships. TTEC now delivers expertise that combines sophisticated algorithms with trained knowledge workers to help our clients detect, identify, and minimize the impact of fraud online. The acquisition also provides us with extensive content moderation capabilities that are vital to global brands as they strive to create and maintain a safe and trusted presence online.

The growth of our customer experience cloud business is another important highlight for the year. As more businesses embrace the flexibility of the cloud, we saw accelerated bookings in this category. We anticipate that these bookings will have a positive impact on revenue and operating income margins in 2018. Our growth is coming from a combination of direct sales and channel partner agreements with Cisco, Verizon, Allstream, and Telstra. We are encouraged by the future growth prospects and premium margin profile of our customer experience cloud offering.

Now let's transition into our plans for 2018. Early this year we launched our new name, TTEC, the decision to rebrand represents a turning point for our business. Our new name is the manifestation of our transformation from a vendor of cost-driven services, to a strategic client partner in the design, implementation, and delivery of digital customer experience transformation. Our new name represents the culmination of hundreds of millions of dollars in acquisitions, over 100 patents, the diversification of capabilities and the coming together of a talented and experienced leadership team. While it was our ambition to change our name sooner, we held off until we could demonstrate at scale the full scope of our end-to-end platform with multiple client proof points across industries and geographies.

Core to our rebranding strategy was the creation of a highly collaborative organizational structure to face the market. We've built two distinct centers of excellence, TTEC Digital, and TTEC Engage, that map to our client's specific business challenges and their customer needs. TTEC Digital unites our consulting and our technology services into a true digital platform, while TTEC Engage operates and delivers best in class frontline customer interactions globally working side by side with TTEC Digital.

TTEC Digital combines customer experience consulting, analytics, systems integration, and ongoing technology operations. Through TTEC Digital, we're designing context-aware, insight-driven, omnichannel customer journeys, and then bringing them to life with enabling systems on our own cloud-based technology platforms leveraging knowledge management, and machine learning, and artificial intelligence. TTEC Engage houses TTEC's global delivery center of excellence that operates managed services to help clients acquire, retain, grow, and serve and protect their customers across every touchpoint across the globe at scale. Through TTEC Engage we are enabling clients to increase revenue, reduce cost, and build customer lifetime value and affinity by combining the compassion and creativity of human talent with the convenience and efficiency of technology.

After 35 years, TTEC is a very different company operating on a very different playing field. Our solution portfolio is strategically enriched with relevant digital capabilities, including omnichannel, AI, machine learning, analytics, and IOT, to name a few. Our diverse client portfolio includes blue-chip brands and dynamic and well-known industry disruptors who share our obsession with customer experience excellence. Our deep and talented employee population across the globe of over 50,000 customer experience professionals includes CX strategists, process experts, knowledge base curators, user experience designers, technologists, engineers, analytic Ph.D.'s, fraud investigators, and frontline brand ambassadors.

In a world where every touchpoint is an opportunity to build an engagement and brand advocacy or potential point of failure, our customer-focused approach is more relevant than ever. Today, customers expect simple, convenient, and trustworthy interactions. They expect to be valued and treated like individuals who can effortlessly interact over the touchpoints of choice, and seamlessly move between channels without loss of information. They want their issues resolved on their terms and in context to their particular situation. They want the company to have an understanding of their interactions and transaction history and treat them with empathy, compassion, and respect.

As the lines blur between digital and physical interactions modern omnichannel interaction hubs have become the focal point for customer acquisition, retention, and customer loyalty and the central source for customer insights. They've become the nerve center for customer centricity, and have continued to rise in strategic importance. Companies are realizing that the old way of managing customer interactions no longer works. They are seeking guidance from experts like us who understand how to link the needs of increasingly demanding, fickle, hyper-connected customers with the technology and data-rich capabilities of a high performing, modern interaction hub.

Synchronizing the complex mesh of crisscrossing channels and real-time information takes a combination of strategy, technology, process excellence, and well trained, compassionate people. Most companies have some of the pieces, but very few have them all. Many companies are operating pilot projects, but very few are managing operationalized programs that cut across an enterprise at scale.

It is no surprise that these one-off, disconnected strategies that happen inside a company turn into frustrating and disjointing customer experiences. You know those bad experiences; each of us has from time to time. Being stuck in the agony of IBR voice jail, or being asked to verify your information repeatedly as you're transferred from associate to associate, only to have to start from scratch when a new person finally arrives on the other end of the line. C'mon, this is 2018 for God's sakes; customers deserve better and that's where TTEC can help.

The good news is that there are some strong examples of amazing customer experience in the market and we're proud to be supporting several of them. These CX leaders are the companies that we all love and look forward to doing business with. They are digital, seamless, and fun to engage with, and they're growing faster and retaining customers at a much higher rate than their laggers. These leaders have set a high bar and are forcing brands across the globe to do far more than rethink their operations. Companies are beginning to reimagine their business to take advantage of the new technologies and capabilities that enable them to put their customers up front and center.

And that is where we come in. Companies can't fix the experience and isolation. They need well-orchestrated end-to-end solutions that deliver comprehensive journey maps, advanced analytics, omnichannel platforms, dynamic learning engines, and a culture that is ready to embrace change. With TTEC Digital and TTC Engage, we're providing clients with a modern, modular platform designed to help them navigate their digital transformation journey.

From the day our company was founded, we've focused on only one thing, helping the world's most respected and iconic brands build unbreakable bonds with their customers by delivering amazing customer experiences. While the touchpoints technologies and methods may have evolved, the customer experience has always been our true north. Because of this singular focus on the customer experience, and our continued investment in innovation, today we are uniquely positioned to be the partner of choice in customer experience transformation, and the market is ripe with opportunity.

We have the momentum, global scale, and unified offering to continue leading the market as the only true end-to-end customer engagement service partner in the world. Every year we grow stronger in our resolve, and we are seeing leading indicators of progress. Our clients are flocking to our innovation labs and participating in our innovation days to envision and map their transformational journey. Our conversations with buyers are focused on total value delivered and partnerships for future growth. We are designing solutions alongside clients to share risk and rewards. They are viewing us as their customer experience architects and trusting us as their strategic partners, and we're seeing past clients return to us with a deeper appreciation for quality of the customer experience balanced with traditional metrics like efficiency and cost.

With fortitude and conviction, we've been deliberate in our strategy to invest in innovation, and a refusal to cut corners that would impact our quality. We've sculpted our business carefully, and we are truly proud of where we are positioned today. Our prestigious client base is expanding, our balance sheet remains strong, our platform is proven and continues to evolve, and our talented team of 50,000 employees are excited and energized about our new brand and innovative capabilities. Further, we continue to utilize our capital to balance organic investment in the business as well as acquisitions, dividends, and share repurchases, to maximize shareholder value.

As we move into 2018 our momentum is accelerating, we're growing, and we're excited as ever about our future. On behalf of our executive team, board of directors, and our employees across the globe thank you for your continue to support, and I will now turn the call over to Regina.

Regina Paolillo -- Chief Financial and Administrative Officer

Thanks, Ken, and good morning everyone. As Ken mentioned, we had a strong finish to the year with results exceeding our full year expectations and guidance. We are particularly pleased with fourth quarter execution in our healthcare, retail, and government verticals. We exceeded the returns we anticipated from the investments made in the third quarter to prepare for record seasonal volumes.

Turning to our fourth quarter 2017 results on a GAAP basis, in the fourth quarter of 2017 we recorded revenue of $426.6 million compared to $344.9 million in the prior year, and $36.6 million of operating income compared to $6.2 million in 2016. The operating income in the fourth quarter of 2017 and '16, included $10.2 and $27 million of restructuring integration, and impairment charges respectively.

Including a one-time $62.4 million deemed mandatory repatriation tax related to the enactment of a 2017 US Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, our GAAP loss per share was $0.89 in the fourth quarter 2017. This compared to a loss of $0.01 in the prior-year quarter. Normalized, which also adjusts for restructure, integration, impairments, and other one-time items, our earnings per share was a positive $0.67 compared to a positive $0.42 in the prior-year quarter.

Consistent with prior quarters, the remainder of my financial comments on a non-GAAP basis, which exclude restructure, integration, and impairment charges, and the assets that we are exiting, additionally, and given we are accounting for the Motif minority share buyout under the liability method, any changes to the fair market value of the buyout will be accounted for in other income expense, and excluded in the computation of our non-GAAP based EPS.

In the fourth quarter and full year 2017, we recorded $1.2 million of expense related to the buyout liability. A reconciliation of our GAAP to non-GAAP numbers is included in the tables attached to our press release. Related to the assets we are exiting, we made significant progress in 2017; we sold our underperforming Avaya business within our CTS segment in the second quarter and digital marketing within our CGS segment in the fourth quarter. We continue to evaluate alternatives for exiting the CSS Middle-East consulting business.

Now turning to our fourth quarter 2017 non-GAAP results. Revenue increased 25.4% to $423.2 million over the same period last year of which 7.5% was organic. Operating income increased 39.4% to $47.5 million over the prior year period or 11.2% of revenue versus 10.1% last year. Foreign exchange had a positive $2.5 million impact on revenue and a $1.4 million positive impact on operating income. The over performance in the fourth quarter 2017 in part is due to approximately $23 million of CMS volumes related to US disaster recovery work we executed on behalf of FEMA.

New business signings in the fourth quarter of 2017 were a solid $119 million compared to $122 million in the prior-year quarter. We are pleased with our fourth quarter and full year bookings results. The results of the sales restructure we executed in the second half of 2016 which simplified our go-to-market improved our sales talent and fostered more predictability has resulted in more pursuits, improved win-loss ratios, a growing average deal size, and a significant improvement in the individual selling performance of our sales executives, client partners, and operational leaders.

Our reported tax rate in the fourth quarter 2017 was 243.9%, reflecting the previously mentioned one-time tax provision related to the new US tax reform legislation. This compares to a 94.8% tax rate of the fourth quarter of last year which was impacted by large restructuring and impairment charges. The normalized tax rate was 29.2% in the fourth quarter of 2017 versus 38.6% in the prior-year quarter. Capacity utilization was 83% in the fourth quarter of 2017, representing a 300 basis improvement year over year. Capital expenditures were $8 million in the fourth quarter 2017 down from $12 million in the prior year. For the full year 2017, CAPEX was $52 million, or 3.5% of revenue compared to $50.8 million, or 4% of revenue in the prior period.

Regarding capital distributions, the company paid a $0.25 per share, or $11.5 million semiannual dividend on October of 2017; a 25% increase over the distribution paid in October of last year. In late February 2018, the board declared the next semiannual dividend of $0.27 per share, payable on April 12th, 2017 to shareholders of record on March 30th, 2018. In 2017 we deployed approximately $217 million of capital across acquisitions and other strategic investments, dividends, share repurchases, and capital expenditures. As Ken mentioned in his closing remarks, we plan to continue deploying capital to maximize shareholder value.

Our fourth quarter 2017 cash flow from operations was a negative $36.5 million compared to a positive $1 million in the prior year. The decline relates to an increase in working capital tied to $82 million of incremental revenue and the connections in Motif acquisitions. Fourth quarter DSO was 85 days, higher than the 79 days reported last year due to the significant revenue increase and several large client payments that moved into the new year. We anticipate DSO to improve in the first quarter of 2018, given strong year to date collection activity.

Turning to our fourth quarter 2017 segment results which are presented on non-GAAP basis, CMS's revenue grew 32.1% to $343.3 million over the prior year quarter, which included 8.8% organic growth. As mentioned earlier, CMS's revenue, included approximately $23 million of FEMA disaster recovery work, and a positive $2 million foreign exchange impact. CMS's operating income was $39.2 million, or 11.4% of revenue versus $27 million or 10.4% in the prior year period. In the fourth quarter, the operating income grew 45.4% on 32.1% of revenue growth demonstrating the significant opportunity for margin expansion as we scale CMS's top line and benefit from both optimization in our cost of goods sold and SG&A cost.

We anticipate the continuation of our traditional seasonal cycles with the sequential top and bottom line improvement in CMS's segment throughout 2018. Our recent acquisitions are also delivering as expected, and are positioned for meaningful, profitable growth in 2018.

CGS's revenue was $30.9 million in the fourth quarter 2017, down 9% over the prior year period. Operating income was $2.1 million or 6.9% of revenue, compared to 8.5%. 2017 was a turnaround year for our CG segment. While taking more time than anticipated, we made progress on several fronts including our focus on those markets, clients, and solutions, with the greatest opportunity for growth and profitability improving our delivery cost, rationalizing underperforming programs, and enhancing our go-to-market approach. We are particularly encouraged by the fourth quarter's significant bookings driving a noteworthy increase in CGS's revenue backlog, as well as a growing pipeline as we head into 2018. Given this strong backlog, we anticipate improved revenue in operating income performance in 2018.

CTS's revenue increased to 21.6% to $33.5 million in the fourth quarter 2017, and operating income doubled to $4.4 million, representing 13% of revenue compared to 7.9% in the prior year period. As Ken highlighted, we are seeing favorable trends in our CTS segment, with another quarter of strong bookings and strong demand for a highly profitable cloud platform and related services. We're also seeing favorable developments in our pipeline; both from direct sales and our channel partners, with a growing average deal size, and broader industry diversification. Our CTS segment reported four consecutive quarters of operating income and margin improvement on full-year revenue growth of 8.5%. We anticipate further margin improvement in 2018 from higher revenue, revenue mix, and realized efficiencies as we further prioritize our focus on delivering cloud-based technology, architecture, and services.

CSS's revenue was $15.5 million in the fourth quarter 2017, down 2.7% over the prior year period, operating income was $1.8 million or 11.5% of revenue compared to 12.7%. While the revenue was slightly down year over year, revenue increased 7.3% sequentially, this is primarily due to the streamlining of our solution portfolio to better align CSS's strategy and talent with those practices that create synergies with our engaged and digital technology centers of excellence.

We continue to view CSS's consulting competencies across customer strategy, analytics, service optimization, sales transformation, and content development and curation as essential capabilities in our integrated offering and differentiated approach to customer experience and engagement. We are seeing higher market demand for customer experience transformation as our clients seek brand differentiation through a more personalized and frictionless customer interaction. Driven by a significant improvement in backlog, our unified go-to-market strategy, and new segment integrated solutions, we expect CSS to grow in 2018. With increased volumes, we expect to see improved utilization, and continued expansion of CSS's operating income margin.

Turning to our full year 2017 financial results on a GAAP basis, revenue increased 15.8% to a record $1.48 billion, operating income increased from $52.8 million or 4.1% of revenue to $100.5 or 6.8% of revenue. The 270 basis point improvement in the operating margin is attributable to improvements in our SG&A, and DNA as a percentage of revenue, and significant reduction in the restructure impairment and integration cost offset by higher cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue associated with the significant growth in our US-based healthcare business.

On a non-GAAP basis, our 2017 revenue was $1.46 billion, a %17.3 percent increase over the prior year, inclusive of the FEMA disaster recovery work mentioned earlier. Organic revenue accounted for 4.3%. We realize noteworthy growth in CMS and in particular within our healthcare, government, and travel and transport verticals. CTS's business advanced its growth rate and increased demand for on-premise and cloud-based solutions. This was partially offset by revenue declines in our CGS and CSS segment for the reasons previously shared.

On our GAAP operating -- on our non-GAAP operating income, it was $122.5 million, up 29% over the prior year. Our operating income margin was 8.4% of revenue versus 7.6% last year. Margins were favorably impacted by improved utilization of our facilities, technology, and fixed human capital expenses and foreign exchange, offset by a 90 basis point reduction in the operating margin from the restoration of our performance-based variable compensation pools which were significantly lower in 2016. We expect the variable compensation pools to be fully restored in 2018.

On a full year basis, the normalized tax rate was 24.4% in 2017, versus 23.3% last year. Our non-GAAP normalized EPS was a positive $1.80 compared to $1.32 last year.

I want to make a quick comment regarding our material weaknesses. I am pleased to report that in conjunction with our 2017 year-end testing, we have cleared the final two material weaknesses, allowing us to represent a system of effective controls over our financial reporting. We appreciate the hard work of our finance and accounting teams in not only remediating the material weaknesses, but in establishing enhanced financial reporting processes, procedures, and controls.

Before I share our 2018 guidance, I want to comment on the recently enacted US tax reform legislation. While certain tax regulatory language has not been finalized, we currently believe that the legislation will have two important impacts on TTEC. The first item relates to the potential to repatriate cash to the United States; the one-time mandatory repatriation tax on accumulated foreign earnings accrued in the fourth quarter of 2017, but payable over the next eight years, will increase our flexibility to consider the permanent transfer of a portion of our existing off-shore cash to the US on a more tax efficient basis. Going forward, under the territorial tax system, we may further consider the repatriation of additional non-US excess cash. We view this change as having a positive impact on TTEC affording us improved mobility and utilization of our worldwide cash resources.

The second item relates to our estimated effective tax rate. While the US federal corporate income tax rate will decline, as a multinational corporation TTEC may be impacted by incremental taxes primarily associated with the alternative base erosion and anti-abuse taxes. While the full impact is not clear, given pending guidance, we estimate our 2018 effective tax rate in the range of 24% to 26%; this compares to our normalized full year effective tax rate of 24.4% in 2017.

With regard to ASC 606, we deem the adoption of this accounting standards update on revenue from contracts with customers which we will implement using the modified retrospective basis to have a minimal impact on the company's financial performance. We will implement the updated guidance as of January 1st, 2018 and expect to recognize a cumulative effect adjustment in the range of $9 million to $12 million related to the net income associated with certain revenue and expenses that will be deferred from periods prior to December 31st, 2017. We estimate the annual future benefit of this deferral to be offset by deferrals related to new contracts.

We are pleased with our 2017 performance which exceeded our expectations and guidance. In addition to our unwavering strategic focus to differentiate our solution portfolio and improve our go-to-market platforms, it is clear that the sales execution and profit optimization initiatives that we executed in 2016 were a noteworthy catalyst to our record 2017 performance.

We are well positioned for further profitable grown in 2018, our revenue backlog is a premium to prior years, our cost structure is streamlined, and our sales and operating teams are aligned to deliver our full suite of unified capabilities across TTEC Digital and TTEC Engage.

As I comment on guidance, it is important to remember that our outlook excludes impairment, restructuring, and integration charges, and the CSS Middle-East business which we are exiting. At this point, we expect the impact of foreign exchange rates on our financial results immaterial in 2018.

We estimate full year 2018 guidance as follows, revenue between $1.505 billion and $1.525 billion, representing a year over year increase between 3.3% and 4.7%. Excluding 2017's FEMA disaster recovery volumes, which we have conservatively eliminated from our 2018 estimates, the growth rate is estimated to be between 5.1% and 6.5%. EBITDA margin between 13% and 13.3%, including a 25 basis points adverse impact from one-time costs related to our name change and a 30 basis point impact from the restoration of variable compensation pools. Excluding these amounts, the EBITDA margin would be between 13.6% and 13.9%.

Operating margin in a range of 8.7% to 8.9%, excluding the cost related to the name change and restoration of the variable pools, the operating margin will be between 9.3% and 9.5%. Capital expenditures of 3.8% of revenue and a full year effective tax rate between 24% and 26%. On a full year basis, and using the midpoint of our guidance, we expect 2018 segment performance as follows. CMS revenue growth of approximately 2.2% and operating income growth of 4.8%, excluding FEMA, CMS's revenue growth rate is approximately 4.6%, CGS's revenue growth of approximately 7.1% and operating income growth of 24%, CTS's revenue grown of approximately 15.8% and operating income growth of 26%, and CSS's revenue and operating income growth of approximately 4.5% each we expect approximately 47% of our revenue and 38% of our operating income in the first half of 2018.

I'll now turn the call back to Paul.
