Frequently asked questions
What is CSG Systems International Inc's revenue?
CSG Systems International Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $1.24B. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is CSGS?
In its most recent fiscal year, CSGS ran a gross margin of 47.55%, an operating margin of 24.54%, and a net margin of 4.57%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does CSGS generate?
CSGS produced $141.39M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is CSGS's balance sheet healthy?
CSGS holds $180.01M in cash and equivalents against — in long-term debt, on $283.70M of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
