Commenting on this performance, Teleperformance Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Daniel Julien said: "We continued to deliver strong growth in the first half in line with our targets for the year, with revenue up +5.5% like-for-like,or +12.9% excluding the decrease in the contribution from Covid support contracts, which we had expected. We are very satisfied with this performance, which was achieved despite a particularly high basis of comparison in 2021 and a very unsettled macroeconomic environment. Adjusted like-for-likegrowth even accelerated in the second quarter, led by the structural digitalization of our market and the Group's robust and diversified client portfolio.

The strong recovery of TLScontact's visa application management business also contributed to this good performance. The Group's recent strategic acquisitions in the United States, Health Advocate and Senture, were successfully integrated and made a significant contribution to first-half revenue growth. Thus, despite the sharp decline in the contribution of Covid support contracts to first-half 2022 revenue, EBITA margin continued to improve in line with the annual target.

On the strength of this encouraging first half, taking into account the uncertain economic environment and ever-present health risk, we confirm our 2022 targets of like-for-like revenue growth of more than +5%, or more than +10% excluding the impact of the Covid support contracts, and a 30-basis point increase in EBITA margin."

FIRST-HALF AND SECOND-QUARTER 2022 REVENUE

CONSOLIDATED REVENUE

First half 2022 revenue came in at €3,946 million, representing a year-on-year increase of +5.5% at constant exchange rates and scope of consolidation (like-for-like)and of +15.0% as reported. Reported revenue was lifted by the +€159 million positive currency effect, stemming mainly from the rise in the US dollar against the euro. Changes in the scope of consolidation had a +€160 million positive impact, reflecting the consolidation of Health Advocate from July 1, 2021 and of Senture from January 1, 2022.

2/15

Like-for-like growth in first-half 2022 was particularly strong given the negative impact of lower revenue from Covid support contracts (down -€266million compared with first-half2021), which was expected. Adjusted for this non-recurring impact, like-for-like growth stood at +12.9% for the period. The very strong momentum was driven by structural digitalization of the market and by the Group's robust and diversified client portfolio. Growth in the social media, healthcare, and travel sectors was particularly brisk. The Specialized Services activity also enjoyed sustained growth, helped by the resounding recovery of TLScontact's visa application management business.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2022 amounted to €1,984 million, up +15.4%, including a favorable currency effect linked mainly to the rise in the US dollar against the euro and a scope effect linked to the consolidation of Health Advocate and Senture in the Group's accounts. Growth was +4.5% on a like-for-like basis compared to second-quarter 2021. This performance, which came on the back of +6.5% like-for-like growth in first-quarter 2022, was very satisfactory given the sharp drop in the contribution of Covid support contracts. Adjusted for this non-recurringimpact, like-for-likegrowth was +14.5% in second-quarter 2022 versus +11.1% in the first quarter, reflecting increased momentum across both of the Group's activities.

  • Digital Integrated Business Services
  • Excluding the impact of the change in revenue from Covid support contracts
  • Core Services & Digital Integrated Business Services (D.I.B.S.)

Core Services & D.I.B.S. revenue amounted to €3,412 million in first-half 2022, a year-on-year increase of +3.8%. Reported growth came to +10.9%, with the difference versus like-for-like growth primarily attributable to the rise against the euro in the US dollar and most other currencies including the Brazilian real, the Indian rupee, the pound sterling, the Mexican peso and the Colombian peso. In addition, reported growth includes the contribution of Senture, which has been consolidated in the Group's financial statements from January 1, 2022.

Second-quarter 2022 revenue rose by +2.2% like-for-like versus the prior-year period. The slower growth compared to first- quarter 2022 (+5.4%) was mainly due to the sharply lower contribution of Covid support contracts to Group revenue. Excluding the impact of Covid support contracts, the Core Services & D.I.B.S. activity delivered double-digit growth in first- half 2022, with an acceleration in the second quarter compared to the first. This solid momentum was supported by further structural digitalization of the market and the Group's robust client portfolio spread across a wide variety of sectors. The Group performed particularly well in the social media, online entertainment and food services, healthcare and travel sectors.

  1. English-speaking& Asia-Pacific (EWAP)

EWAP region revenue came to €1,175 million in first-half 2022, up +1.2% like-for-like. The reported increase of +18.5% was primarily attributable to favorable currency effects - corresponding to the rise against the euro in the US dollar and, to a lesser extent, in the Indian rupee as well as in the pound sterling- and the positive impact of consolidating Senture from January 1, 2022.

Second-quarter 2022 revenue was globally stable versus the first quarter, rising by +0.5% like-for-like. Growth was dampened by the sharp decline in the revenue contribution of Covid support contracts in the United Kingdom. Excluding Covid support contracts, like-for-like growth was in the double digits.

After staging a recovery in the second half of 2021, the North American market continued to enjoy renewed momentum in first-half 2022, both in the domestic market and in the Philippines (offshore). In particular, revenue in the social media, online entertainment, travel and financial services sectors grew at a brisk pace.

  1. Ibero-LATAM

First-half 2022 revenue for the Ibero-LATAM region amounted to €1,098 million, a year-on-year increase of +17.0% like- for-like. The reported increase of +22.6% mainly reflected the rise in the US dollar, Brazilian real, Mexican peso and Colombian peso against the euro. Like-for-like revenue growth in the second quarter came to +17.7%.

Business in the region grew at a rapid pace throughout the first half against a high basis of comparison, particularly in the social media, online entertainment, healthcare, financial services and travel sectors.

Growth rates were high in all the countries of the region in the first half, led by Argentina, Peru, Dominican Republic and Guatemala (nearshore activities), as well as in Honduras and Nicaragua, where the Group recently launched operations. Multilingual activities in Spain and Portugal, on behalf of global leaders of the digital economy, continue to expand rapidly.

  1. Continental Europe & MEA (CEMEA)

Revenue in the CEMEA region amounted to €875 million in first-half 2022, a year-on-year decline of -9.5%like-for-like and of -10.4% as reported, with the difference corresponding to negative currency effects due to the depreciation of the Turkish lira against the euro. Revenue contracted by -15.3% in second-quarter 2022 on a like-for-like basis, due to the sharp decline in the contribution from Covid support contracts in the Netherlands, France and Germany.

Excluding the impact of the Covid support contracts, first-half 2022 business growth in the region was strong, with the start-up of new contracts driving a clear acceleration in the second quarter compared with the first. Business with multinational clients, particularly in the travel, automotive, financial services and online entertainment sectors, was brisk over the period. This was particularly the case in Romania, Egypt, Poland and the German-speaking market (domestic activities excluding Covid support contracts and nearshore activities).

  1. India

In first-half 2022, operations in India generated €264 million in revenue, up +18.0% like-for-like from the prior-year period and by +24.8% as reported, taking into account the positive currency effect corresponding to the appreciation of the Indian rupee against the euro. Like-for-like revenue growth in the second quarter came to +18.9%.

Offshore activities, which are the region's main source of revenue and include high value-added solutions, continued to grow rapidly. They benefited from the dynamism of the Group's client base of global leaders in the buoyant travel, consumer electronics, healthcare, internet, online entertainment and e-tailing sectors. Revenue in the automotive sector also grew rapidly during the period.

  • Specialized Services

Revenue from Specialized Services stood at €534 million in first-half 2022, a year-on-year increase of +19.3% like-for-like and of +50.1% as reported. The difference between like-for-like and reported growth stemmed from a favorable currency
