Full Year of 2020 Financial Results

For the year ended December 31, 2020, revenues increased by $66.91 million, or 38.6%, to $240.32 million from $173.41 million for the same period of the prior year. Our revenue growth in the year of 2020 resulted primarily from acquiring new customers and increased sales volumes to our existing clients.

We continued to increase our service capacity, which increased by 6,889 seats, or 30.8%, to 29,249 seats as of December 31, 2020 from 22,360 seats at the end of 2019. 

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues consists primarily of salaries, payroll taxes and employee benefits costs of our customer service associates and other operations personnel. Cost of revenues also includes direct communications costs, rent expense, IT costs, and facilities support expenses. Cost of revenues increased by $54.22 million, or 40.3%, to $188.73 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 from $134.50 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase in cost of revenues was in line with the increase in revenues. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues was 78.5% for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to 77.6% for the same period of the prior year.

Gross profit and gross margin

Gross profit increased by $12.69 million, or 32.6%, to $51.59 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 from $38.90 million for the same period of the prior year.

The increase in operating income was related to increased gross profit which was partially offset by increased SG&A expenses.

Income taxes

Provision for income taxes was $3.07 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $2.39 million for the same period of the prior year.
