Basis of Presentation The Consolidated Financial Statements are comprised of the accounts of TTEC, its wholly owned subsidiaries, its 55 % equity owned subsidiary Percepta, LLC, its 70 % equity owned subsidiary First Call Resolution, LLC and its 70 % equity owned subsidiary Serendebyte, Inc. (see Note 2). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 5 Table of Contents TTEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to state fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and the consolidated cash flows of the Company. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates including those related to derivatives and hedging activities, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, litigation reserves, restructuring reserves, allowance for credit losses, contingent consideration, redeemable noncontrolling interest, 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. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, primarily held in interest-bearing investments, and liquid short-term investments which have original maturities of less than 90 days. Restricted cash includes cash whereby the Company’s ability to use the funds at any time is contractually limited or is generally designated for specific purposes arising out of certain contractual or other obligations. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Cash and cash equivalents ​ ​ $ 148,853 $ 132,914 ​ Restricted cash included in "Prepaid and other current assets" ​ ​ 19,031 ​ 26,101 ​ Restricted cash included in "Other noncurrent assets" ​ ​ — ​ — ​ Total ​ ​ $ 167,884 $ 159,015 ​ ​ Concentration of Credit Risk The Company is exposed to credit risk in the normal course of business, primarily related to accounts receivable and derivative instruments. Historically, the losses related to credit risk have been immaterial. The Company regularly monitors its credit risk to mitigate the possibility of current and future exposures resulting in a loss. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of its clients prior to entering into an agreement to provide services and as necessary through the life of the client relationship. 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 eight investment-grade financial institutions. 6 Table of Contents TTEC HOLDINGS, INC.

This client contributed 13.3 % and 11.8 % of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company does have clients with aggregate revenue exceeding $ 100 million annually and the loss of one or more of these clients could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, or financial condition. To mitigate this risk, the Company has multiple contracts with these larger clients, where each individual contract is for an amount below the $100 million aggregate. To limit the Company’s credit risk with its clients, management performs periodic credit evaluations, maintains allowances for credit losses and may require pre-payment for services from certain clients. Based on currently available information, management does not believe significant credit risk existed as of September 30, 2021. In connection with the implementation of ASC 326 as of January 1, 2020, the Company analyzed the prior history of credit losses on revenue for TTEC as a whole and separately for each of the two segments. Based on this evaluation, no modification to the allowance for credit losses balance was necessary as of the implementation date. At the end of each quarter beginning with March 31, 2020, an allowance for credit losses will be calculated based on the current quarterly revenue multiplied by the historical loss percentage of the prior three year period and recorded in the income statement. In addition to the evaluation of historical losses, the Company considers current and future economic conditions and events such as changes in customer credit quality and liquidity.

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, TTEC had approximately $ 2.7 million in pre-petition accounts receivables outstanding related to Sears; during the fourth quarter of 2018 a $ 2.7 million allowance for uncollectible accounts was recorded and included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Accounts Receivable Sales Agreement The Company is party to an Uncommitted Receivables Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with Bank of the West (“Bank”), whereby from time-to-time the Company may elect to sell, on a revolving basis, U.S. accounts receivables of certain clients at a discount to the Bank for cash on a limited recourse basis. The maximum amount of receivables that the Company may sell to the Bank at any given time shall not exceed $ 75 million. The sales of accounts receivable in accordance with the Agreement are reflected as a reduction of Accounts Receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance sheets. The Company has retained no interest in the sold receivables but retains all collection responsibilities on behalf of the Bank. The discount on the accounts receivable sold will be recorded within Other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The cash proceeds from this Agreement are included in the change in accounts receivable within the operating activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had factored $ 74.5 million of accounts receivable; under the Agreement discounts on these receivables were not material during the quarter. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had collected $ 19.0 million of cash from customers which had not been remitted to the Bank. The unremitted cash is restricted cash and is included within Prepaid and other current assets with the corresponding liability included in Accrued expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company has not recorded any servicing assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2021 as the fair value of the servicing arrangement as well as the fees earned were not material to the financial statements. ​ (5) GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS ​ Goodwill consisted of the following (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Effect of ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, ​ Acquisitions / ​ ​ ​ ​ Foreign ​ September 30, ​ ​ 2020 ​ Adjustments ​ Impairments ​ Currency ​ 2021 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ TTEC Digital ​ $ 128,211 ​ $ 375,679 ​ $ — ​ $ ( 1,925 ) ​ $ 501,965 ​ TTEC Engage ​ 235,291 ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ ( 858 ) ​ 234,433 ​ Total ​ $ 363,502 ​ $ 375,679 ​ $ — ​ $ ( 2,783 ) ​ $ 736,398 ​ ​ 16 Table of Contents TTEC HOLDINGS, INC.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company assessed whether any such indicators of impairment existed and concluded there were none. ​ ​ ​ ​ (6) DERIVATIVES Cash Flow Hedges The Company enters into foreign exchange related derivatives. Foreign exchange derivatives entered into consist of forward and option contracts to reduce the Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations that are associated with forecasted revenue earned in foreign locations. Upon proper qualification, these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. It is the Company’s policy to only enter into derivative contracts with investment grade counterparty financial institutions, and correspondingly, the fair value of derivative assets considers, among other factors, the creditworthiness of these counterparties. Conversely, the fair value of derivative liabilities reflects the Company’s creditworthiness. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has not experienced, nor does it anticipate, any issues related to derivative counterparty defaults.

This hierarchy requires that the Company maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. The following presents information as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 for the Company’s assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the fair value hierarchy used to determine their fair value. Accounts Receivable and Payable - The amounts recorded in the accompanying balance sheets approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. 20 Table of Contents TTEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Investments – The Company measures investments, including cost and equity method investments, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. The fair values of these investments are determined based on valuation techniques using the best information available, and may include market observable inputs, and discounted cash flow projections. An impairment charge is recorded when the cost of the investment exceeds its fair value and this condition is determined to be other-than-temporary. As of September 30, 2021, the investment in CaféX Communication, Inc., which consisted of the Company’s total $ 15.6 million investment, is fully impaired to zero. Debt - The Company’s debt consists primarily of the Company’s Credit Facility, which permits floating-rate borrowings based upon the current Prime Rate or LIBOR plus a credit spread as determined by the Company’s leverage ratio calculation (as defined in the Credit Agreement). As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $ 805.0 million and $ 385.0 million, respectively, of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility. During the third quarter of 2021 outstanding borrowings accrued interest at an average rate of 1.3 % per annum, excluding unused commitment fees. The amounts recorded in the accompanying Balance Sheets approximate fair value due to the variable nature of the debt based on Level 2 inputs. Derivatives - Net derivative assets (liabilities) are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The portfolio is valued using models based on market observable inputs, including both forward and spot foreign exchange rates, interest rates, implied volatility, and counterparty credit risk, including the ability of each party to execute its obligations under the contract. As of September 30, 2021, credit risk did not materially change the fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts. The following is a summary of the Company’s fair value measurements for its net derivative assets (liabilities) as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in thousands): As of September 30, 2021 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value Measurements Using ​ ​ ​ ​ Quoted Prices in Significant ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Active Markets ​ Other ​ Significant ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ for Identical ​ Observable ​ Unobservable ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Assets ​ Inputs ​ Inputs ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (Level 1) ​ (Level 2) ​ (Level 3) ​ At Fair Value Cash flow hedges ​ $ — ​ $ ( 369 ) ​ $ — ​ $ ( 369 ) ​ Fair value hedges ​ — ​ ( 150 ) ​ — ​ ( 150 ) ​ Total net derivative asset (liability) ​ $ — ​ $ ( 519 ) ​ $ — ​ $ ( 519 ) ​ ​ As of December 31, 2020 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value Measurements Using ​ ​ ​ ​ Quoted Prices in Significant ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Active Markets ​ Other ​ Significant ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ for Identical ​ Observable ​ Unobservable ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Assets ​ Inputs ​ Inputs ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (Level 1) ​ (Level 2) ​ (Level 3) ​ At Fair Value Cash flow hedges ​ $ — ​ $ 11,390 ​ $ — ​ $ 11,390 ​ Fair value hedges ​ — ​ ( 15 ) ​ — ​ ( 15 ) ​ Total net derivative asset (liability) ​ $ — ​ $ 11,375 ​ $ — ​ $ 11,375 ​ ​ 21 Table of Contents TTEC HOLDINGS, INC.

Participants in the deferred compensation plan select from a menu of phantom investment options for their deferral dollars offered by the Company each year, which are based upon changes in value of complementary, defined market investments. The deferred compensation liability represents the combined values of market investments against which participant accounts are tracked. 22 Table of Contents TTEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Contingent Consideration - The Company recorded contingent consideration related to the acquisitions of VF US and VF ASEAN. The contingent payable for VF US was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation including a discount rate of 23.1 %. The contingent payable for VF ASEAN was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation including a discount rate of 18.4 %. The measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market. The Company will record interest expense each quarter using the effective interest method until the future value of these contingent payments reaches the expected total future value. During the first, second and fourth quarters of 2020, the Company recorded fair value adjustments to the contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of FCR LLC based on decreased estimates of EBITDA which caused the estimated payable to decrease. Accordingly, a $ 3.3 million decrease, a $ 1.1 million decrease and a $ 1.8 million decrease to the payable were recorded as of March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and were included in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). As of December 31, 2020, the final calculated contingent consideration for FCR was zero. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the first quarter of 2021 and the second quarter of 2021, the Company recorded fair value adjustments to the contingent consideration associated with the VF US and VF ASEAN acquisitions based on increased actual results and estimates of EBITDA for 2021 which caused the payables to increase. Accordingly, a combined $ 4.3 million increase, $ 0.9 million increase and $ 0.2 million increase, to the payables were recorded as of December 31, 2020, March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively, and were included in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). As of September 30, 2021, the expected future contingent consideration for the VF US and VF ASEAN acquisitions is $ 9.5 million.

Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Quarterly, the Company assesses the likelihood that its net deferred tax assets will be recovered. Based on the weight of all available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not that a future tax benefit will not be realized. The Company’s selection of an accounting policy with respect to both the global intangible low taxed foreign income (“GILTI”) and base erosion and anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) rules is to compute the related taxes in the period the entity becomes subject to either GILTI or BEAT. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $ 15.1 million of gross deferred tax assets (after a $ 26.3 million valuation allowance) and a net deferred tax asset of $ 9.5 million (after deferred tax liabilities of $ 5.6 million) related to the United States and international tax jurisdictions whose recoverability is dependent upon future profitability. 23 Table of Contents TTEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) In accordance with ASC 740, during the third quarter of 2020 the Company recorded a liability of $ 1.7 million related to an uncertain tax position. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 30.6 % and 21.9 %, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was 25.9 % and 26.5 %, respectively. The Company’s U.S. income tax returns filed for the tax years ending December 31, 2017 to present, remain open tax years . The Company has been notified of the intent to audit or is currently under audit of income taxes for the United States for tax year 2017 and 2018 , the Philippines for tax years 2017, 2018 and 2020 , Ireland for 2018 through 2020 , the state of California for tax years 2017 through 2018 , New York City for tax years 2017 through 2019 , and the state of Florida for tax years 2017 through 2019 . Although the outcome of examinations by taxing authorities are always uncertain, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of these audits will not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. When there is a change in judgment concerning the recovery of deferred tax assets in future periods, a valuation allowance is recorded into earnings during the quarter in which the change in judgment occurred. In the first quarter of 2020, changes to the valuation allowance were recorded in the amounts of $ 0.3 million, for deferred tax assets that did not meet the “more-likely-than-not” standard. In the second quarter of 2020, changes to the valuation allowance were recorded in the amount of $ 0.9 million for assets that were redetermined to meet the “more-likely-than-not” standard. In the first and third quarters of 2021, changes to the valuation allowance were recorded in the amount of $ 2.4 million and $ 6.4 million, respectively, for assets that did not meet the “more-likely-than-not” standard. The Company has been granted “Tax Holidays” as an incentive to attract foreign investment by the government of the Philippines. Generally, a Tax Holiday is an agreement between the Company and a foreign government under which the Company receives certain tax benefits in that country, such as exemption from taxation on profits derived from export-related activities. In the Philippines, the Company has been granted multiple agreements with an initial period of four years and additional periods for varying years, expiring at various times between 2021 and 2022 . The aggregate effect on income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $ 0.5 million benefit and $ 1.1 million benefit, respectively, which had an impact on diluted net income per share of $ 0.01 and $ 0.02 , respectively. The aggregate effect on income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $ 4.2 million and $ 2.2 million benefit, respectively, which had an impact on diluted net income per share of $ 0.09 and $ 0.05 , respectively. ​ ​ (9) RESTRUCTURING CHARGES AND IMPAIRMENT LOSSES Restructuring Charges During 2021 and 2020, the Company continued restructuring activities primarily associated with reductions in the Company’s capacity, the workforce in certain locations, and related management in both segments to better align the capacity and workforce with current business needs. TTEC determined it would close several delivery centers servicing the Engage segment and the expenses related to early termination fees and cease use lease accruals were recorded. This expense was included in the Restructuring charges, net in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). 24 Table of Contents TTEC HOLDINGS, INC.

Severance Charges In the normal course of business, the Company will pay severance to terminated employees related to programs that are ending when such employees are no longer needed and cannot be repurposed to a new program. During the second quarter of 2020, a $ 3.0 million accrual was recorded with the expense included in Cost of services during the quarter ended June 30, 2020. During the third and fourth quarters of 2020, a total of $ 1.6 million was paid and a $ 0.3 million reduction in expense was recorded. During the first, second and third quarters of 2021, a total of $ 0.5 million was paid and a $ 0.6 million reduction in expense was recorded. The accrual is expected to be paid or extinguished during the next three months and thus is classified as current liabilities within Other accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 25 Table of Contents TTEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Impairment Losses During each of the periods presented, the Company evaluated the recoverability of its leasehold improvement assets at certain customer engagement centers. An asset is considered to be impaired when the anticipated undiscounted future cash flows of its asset group are estimated to be less than the asset group’s carrying value. The amount of impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value of the asset group and its fair value. To determine fair value, the Company used Level 3 inputs in its discounted cash flows analysis. Assumptions included the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 the Company recognized impairment losses, net related to leasehold improvement assets and right of use lease assets of $( 0.3 ) million and $ 0.4 million, respectively, across the TTEC Digital and TTEC Engage segments.

The Credit Facility matures on February 14, 2024 . The $300 million increase is in the form of a term loan, which can be prepaid anytime and will become due February 14, 2024, contemporaneously with the expiration of the revolving line of credit. The maximum commitment under the Credit Facility is $ 1.2 billion in the aggregate, if certain conditions are satisfied. The Credit Facility commitment fees are payable to the lenders in an amount equal to the unused portion of the Credit Facility multiplied by a rate per annum as determined by reference to the Company’s net leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative, negative, and financial covenants, which remained unchanged from the 2016 Credit Facility, except that the Company is now obligated to maintain a maximum net leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00, and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.50 to 1.00. The Credit Agreement permits accounts receivable factoring up to the greater of $ 75 million or 25 percent of the average book value of all accounts receivable over the most recent twelve-month period. Base rate loans bear interest at a rate equal to the greatest of (i) Wells Fargo’s prime rate, (ii) one half of 1% in excess of the federal funds effective rate, and (iii) 1.25 % in excess of the one month LIBOR; plus in each case a margin of 0 % to 0.875 % based on the Company’s net leverage ratio. Eurodollar loans bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.0 % to 1.875 % based on the Company’s net leverage ratio. Alternate currency loans bear interest at rates applicable to their respective currencies. Letter of credit fees are one eighth of 1% of the stated amount of the letter of credit on the date of issuance, renewal or amendment, plus an annual fee equal to the borrowing margin for Eurodollar loans. 26 Table of Contents TTEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) The Company primarily utilizes its Credit Facility to fund working capital, general operations, dividends and other strategic activities, such as the acquisitions described in Note 2. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had borrowings of $ 805.0 million and $ 385.0 million, respectively, under its Credit Facility, and its average daily utilization was $ 747.9 million and $ 597.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company had increased borrowings under the Credit Facility from late March 2020 through late September 2020, related to precautionary measures taken to proactively strengthen the Company’s cash reserves and financial flexibility in response to COVID-19 related uncertainties. As of September 30, 2020, those additional borrowings had been repaid. During early April 2021, the Company increased borrowings by approximately $ 500 million in connection with the acquisition of Avtex (see Note 2). Based on the current level of availability based on the covenant calculations, the Company’s remaining borrowing capacity was approximately $ 390 million as of September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and conditions under its Credit Agreement. Letters of Credit As of September 30, 2021, outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Facility totaled $ 2.6 million and primarily guaranteed workers’ compensation and other insurance related obligations. As of September 30, 2021, letters of credit and contract performance guarantees issued outside of the Credit Agreement totaled $ 0.4 million. Legal Proceedings From time to time, the Company has been involved in legal actions, both as plaintiff and defendant, which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for exposures associated with such legal actions to the extent that losses are deemed both probable and reasonably estimable. To the extent specific reserves have not been made for certain legal proceedings, their ultimate outcome, and consequently, an estimate of possible loss, if any, cannot reasonably be determined at this time. Based on currently available information and advice received from counsel, the Company believes that the disposition or ultimate resolution of any current legal proceedings, except as otherwise specifically reserved for in its financial statements, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations. ​ (11) LEASES ​ Operating leases are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as Operating lease assets, Current operating lease liabilities and Non-current operating lease liabilities. Finance leases are included in Property, plant and equipment, Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company primarily leases real estate and equipment under various arrangements that provide the Company the right of use for the underlying asset that require lease payments over the lease term. The Company determines the value of each lease by computing the present value of each lease payment using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if available; otherwise the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate over the lease term. The Company determines its incremental borrowing rate based on its estimated credit risk with adjustments for each individual leases’ geographical risk and lease term. Operating lease assets also include prepaid rent and initial direct costs less any tenant improvements. 27 Table of Contents TTEC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) The Company’s real estate portfolio typically includes one or more options to renew , with renewal terms that generally can extend the lease term from one to 10 years . The exercise of these lease renewal options is at the Company’s discretion and is included in the lease term only if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company also has service arrangements whereby it controls specific space provided by a third-party service provider. These arrangements meet the definition of a lease and are accounted for under ASC 842. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or restrictive guarantees.
