On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates including those related to derivatives and hedging activities, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, self-insurance reserves, litigation reserves, restructuring reserves, allowance for doubtful accounts,</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"> contingent consideration,</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"> and valuation of goodwill, long-lived and intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"> In the </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">year ended </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">December 31, 2012</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">, the Company recorded a change in estimate which resulted in a decrease of $4.6 million to employee related expenses in connection with an authoritative ruling in Spain related to the legally required cost of living adjustment for employees' salaries for the year 2010, 2011 and 2012.</font></p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:8pt'> </p>

The Company does not believe it is exposed to more than a nominal amount of credit risk in its derivative hedging activities, as the Company diversifies its activities across six well-capitalized, investment-grade financial institutions.</font></p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:8pt'> </p>

CY2014	ttec	Fair Value Determination Goodwill Reporting Fair Value Not Substantially In Excess Of Carrying Value FairValueDeterminationGoodwillReportingFairValueNotSubstantiallyInExcessOfCarryingValue	For the annual goodwill impairment analysis, the Company elected to perform a Step 1 evaluation for all of its reporting units, which includes comparing a reporting unit’s estimated fair value to its carrying value. The determination of fair value requires significant judgments including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term growth rates for the businesses, the useful lives over which the cash flows will occur and determination of appropriate discount rates (based in part on the Company’s weighted average cost of capital). Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or conclusions on goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. As of December 1, 2014, the date of the annual impairment testing, the Company concluded that the fair values of all reporting units were in excess of their respective carrying values and the goodwill for those reporting units was not impaired. The process of evaluating the fair value of the reporting units is highly subjective and requires significant judgment and estimates as the reporting units operate in a number of markets and geographical regions. We used an income approach to determine our best estimates of fair value which incorporated the following significant assumptions: Revenue projections, including revenue growth during the forecast periods ranging from 3% to 20%; EBITDA margin projections held flat over the forecast periods ranging from 10% to 15%; Estimated income tax rates of 27% to 40%; Estimated capital expenditures ranging from $0.1 million to $24 million; and Discount rates ranging from 12% to 17% based on various inputs, including the risks associated with the specific reporting units as well as their revenue growth and EBITDA margin assumptions. As noted above, the Company has concluded that goodwill for all reporting units was not impaired at December 1, 2014. While no impairment indicators were identified, due to the small margin of fair value in excess of carrying value for two reporting units, Revana (approximately 6.0%) and WebMetro (approximately 11%) , these reporting units remain at considerable risk for future impairment if projected operating results are not met or other inputs into the fair value measurement change.

CY2015Q1	ttec	Subsequent Event Assignment SubsequentEventAssignment	On February 24, 2015, our Board of Directors adopted a dividend policy, with the intent to distribute a periodic cash dividend to stockholders of our common stock, after consideration of, among other things, TeleTech’s performance, cash flows, capital needs and liquidity factors. Given our cash flow generation and balance sheet strength, we believe cash dividends and early returns to shareholders through share repurchases, in balance with our investments in innovation and strategic acquisitions, align shareholder interests with the needs of the Company. The initial dividend of $0.18 per common share will be paid on March 16, 2015 to shareholders of record as of March 6, 2015.
