CSG SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL INC Segments Disclosure
4. Segment Reporting and Significant Concentration
Segment Information. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is our President and . We have evaluated how our CODM has organized our Company for purposes of making operating decisions, preparing budgets and forecasts, setting targets, allocating resources, and assessing performance. Our CODM manages all business activities on a consolidated basis, and as a result, we have concluded that as of December 31, 2025, there is one reportable segment.
Our one segment provides solutions and services that help companies around the world monetize and digitally enable the customer experience by accurately capturing, managing, generating, and optimizing the interactions and revenue associated with their customers. We generate a substantial percentage of our revenue from customers utilizing Advanced Convergent Platform (“ACP”), a private SaaS platform, and related solutions (e.g., service technician management, analytics, electronic bill presentment, etc.) within the North American communications markets. In addition, a smaller portion of our revenue is generated from our public SaaS revenue management and payments platforms, serving customers globally. In addition, we license certain solutions (e.g., mediation, partner management, rating, and charging) and provide our professional services to implement, configure, and maintain these solutions. These solutions are sometimes provided under a managed services arrangement, where we assume long-term responsibility for delivering and maintaining our solutions and related operations under a defined scope and specified service levels.
The accounting policies of our one segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 3). As our one segment is managed on a consolidated basis, our measure of segment profit or loss is consolidated net income. Our CODM uses consolidated net income to assess the performance of our one segment and decide how and where to allocate resources and reinvest profits into the business in areas such as R&D, business and/or asset acquisitions, investments in market share expansion with our existing and potential new customers, talent, technology, the repurchase of our common stock, and/or the payment of dividends. Net income, and components of net income, are used to monitor actual performance and are compared to budgeted and forecasted results to assess the performance of our one segment, set targets, and establish management’s incentive compensation. The measure of consolidated segment assets is reported in our Balance Sheets as total assets. We do not have intra-entity sales or transfers.
We regularly provide our CODM a reporting package that shows our results by functional expenses, similar to our Income Statements. However, for purposes of this reporting package, depreciation is included in these functional expense categories, rather than broken out separately. Additionally, certain expenses such as restructuring and reorganization charges, executive transition costs, and acquisition-related costs, along with non-cash charges such as stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangibles, are excluded. The table below provides the significant expenses that are regularly provided to our CODM for our one segment, the required disclosable amounts that are included in consolidated net income, and a reconciliation to consolidated net income. In 2025, we have broken out acquisition-related costs as a separate line item, rather than including them in 'Other segment items'. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

About Segments Disclosures
Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.
Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
