SAFE HARBOR Certain statements made during the course of this presentation as it relates to SYKES’ business and financial performance are forward-looking. It is important to note that actual results may differ materially from those projected in any such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those projected are identified in the company’s press releases and filings with the SEC from time to time. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Non-GAAP income from continuing operations, non-GAAP operating margins, non-GAAP tax rate, non-GAAP income from continuing operations, net of taxes, per diluted share and non-GAAP income from continuing operations by segment are important indicators of performance as these non-GAAP financial measures assist readers in further understanding the company’s results from operations and how management evaluates and measures such performance. These non-GAAP indicators of performance are not measures of financial performance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered a substitute for measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Refer to the exhibits in the release for detailed reconciliations. 2
