TTEC Holdings (TTEC) reported fiscal 2025 Q2 earnings on August 7, 2025. The company showed marked improvement in financial performance despite a revenue decline, with a substantial reduction in per-share losses and net losses compared to the prior year.

TTEC Holdings reported a total revenue decline of 3.8% in Q2 2025, reaching $513.57 million compared to $534.09 million in Q2 2024. TTEC Engage contributed $399.82 million, while TTEC Digital reported $113.75 million in revenue.

The company significantly narrowed its losses in Q2 2025, with per-share losses decreasing from $6.30 in Q2 2024 to $0.17, representing a 97.3% improvement. Net losses also dropped dramatically from $296.77 million to $6.72 million, a 97.7% reduction. This marked improvement reflects sustained profitability over the last 20 years in the same quarter.

The stock price of TTEC Holdings edged up 0.37% on the latest trading day but dropped significantly in the short term, falling 45.18% for the week and 47.40% month-to-date.

The post-earnings price action revealed a problematic investment strategy: buying TTEC after earnings beat and selling after 30 days resulted in a -92.81% return, far below the 86.19% benchmark return. The strategy produced a -179.01% excess return, a CAGR of -41.18%, a maximum drawdown of 56.88%, and a Sharpe ratio of -0.72, indicating high risk and poor performance.

Ken Tuchman, Chairman and CEO of TTEC, highlighted the company's strong second-quarter performance and progress toward growth and profitability. He emphasized consistent operational improvements, a digital-first strategy, and leadership in AI-driven customer experience solutions. Tuchman expressed confidence in the company’s strategic direction, including revenue guidance increases and a balanced approach between human interaction and AI automation.

TTEC updated its 2025 full-year revenue outlook, reflecting improved expectations based on current performance and momentum. The company reported $85.5 million in free cash flow for Q2 2025 and maintained $270 million in remaining borrowing capacity. It anticipates continued operational execution, including improved utilization and margin expansion, particularly in TTEC Digital.
