ENGLEWOOD, CO USA
 CSG Meets Expectations: Revenues From Continuing Operations at $93.2 Million
                 and EPS From Continuing Operations at $0.09

    ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Jan. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CSG Systems
International, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSGS), a leading provider of customer care and
billing solutions, today reported results for the quarter ended December 31,
2005.
    (Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020627/CSGSLOGO)

    Fourth Quarter 2005 Highlights:

    *  During the quarter, CSG extended its agreement with EchoStar
       Communications through the end of 2008.

    *  On December 9, 2005, CSG completed the sale of its GSS business to
       Comverse, Inc.  In addition, on December 30, 2005, CSG completed the
       sale of its plaNet Consulting business to a group of private investors
       led by the plaNet management team.  As a result, the GSS and the plaNet
       Consulting businesses are reflected as discontinued operations in CSG's
       results of operations for all periods presented.

    *  Revenues and earnings per diluted share from continuing operations were
       both within the range of CSG's previously communicated financial
       guidance.  Results from continuing operations were as follows: total
       revenues were $93.2 million; operating income was $6.5 million; and
       income from continuing operations (net of tax) was $4.3 million, or
       $0.09 per diluted share.

    *  Cash flows from operations for the quarter were $15.7 million, which
       were negatively impacted by approximately $10 million due to a key
       client delaying payment of an invoice until after quarterend.  This
       amount was received in January 2006.

    *  During the fourth quarter, CSG's Board of Directors increased the total
       number of authorized shares to be repurchased under CSG's stock
       repurchase program by five million shares.  For the quarter, CSG
       repurchased approximately 645,000 shares of its common stock for
       $15.0 million (weighted-average price of $23.24 per share) under its
       stock repurchase program.

    "We enter 2006 in a position of strength," Ed Nafus, chief executive
officer and president for CSG Systems International, Inc. said.  "Over
two-thirds of our cable clients are on our Advanced Convergent Platform.  We
have no major contracts up for renewal.  And, our clients are rolling out new
products like wireless and commercial services.  We believe that we are in a
great position to help our clients be successful in an increasingly
competitive environment."

    Fourth Quarter 2005 Results
    Total revenues from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2005
were $93.2 million, an increase of three percent, when compared to
$90.6 million for the same period in 2004, and down one percent when compared
to $94.1 million for the third quarter of 2005.  The components of total
revenues from continuing operations are as follows:  processing revenues for
the fourth quarter of 2005 were $87.1 million, up three percent when compared
to $84.2 million for the same period last year, and relatively flat when
compared to $87.5 million for the third quarter of 2005; and software,
maintenance and services revenues were $6.1 million for the current quarter, a
four percent decrease when compared to $6.4 million for the same period last
year, and a decrease of seven percent when compared to $6.6 million for the
third quarter of 2005.
    Income from continuing operations (net of tax) for the fourth quarter of
2005 was $4.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, down 68 percent when
compared to $13.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter
of 2004, and down 71 percent when compared to $14.8 million, or $0.31 per
diluted share, for the third quarter of 2005.  The decrease in income from
continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2005 when compared to these
two previous periods relates primarily to $14.5 million of restructuring
charges recorded in the fourth quarter of 2005, which are discussed in greater
detail below.
    Income (loss) from discontinued operations (net of tax) was $9.8 million,
or $0.20 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2005 (which includes a
$10.0 million net pretax gain on the sale of the GSS and plaNet businesses),
compared to ($1.2) million, or ($0.02) per diluted share, for the same period
in 2004, and compared to ($1.3) million, or ($0.03) per diluted share, for the
third quarter of 2005.  Net income for the fourth quarter of 2005 was
$14.1 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, an increase of 15 percent when
compared to $12.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter
of 2004, and an increase of four percent when compared to $13.5 million, or
$0.28 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2005.

    Broadband Division (Continuing Operations)
    As a result of the sale of the GSS and plaNet businesses, CSG's results of
operations from continuing operations consist of the Broadband Services
Division (excluding the portion of the plaNet business sold that was
previously included in the Broadband Services Division) and corporate overhead
expense related to CSG's ongoing business, which were as follows for the
periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands):

    (1)  Corporate overhead includes the expense for benefits related to the
         retirement of CSG's former CEO, Neal Hansen, effective June 30, 2005.

    (2)  Other income (expense) includes the write-off of deferred financing
         costs of $6.6 million during the twelve months ended December 31,
         2004.



    Total domestic customer accounts processed on CSG's systems as of
December 31, 2005 were 45.2 million, compared to 44.7 million as of
September 30, 2005.  To date, over 22 million subscribers have migrated to
CSG's Advanced Convergent Platform.  The annualized revenue per processing
unit ("ARPU") for the fourth quarter of 2005 was $7.72 compared to $7.86 for
the third quarter of 2005.  The reduction in the fourth quarter 2005 ARPU is
related primarily to the new EchoStar contract which went into effect on
November 1, 2005.
    During the fourth quarter of 2005, CSG extended its agreement with
EchoStar Communications through the end of 2008.

    Restructuring Charges
    During the fourth quarter of 2005, CSG incurred charges related to several
restructuring activities.  A summary of the restructuring charges for all

    (3)  CSG incurred certain nonrecurring charges in conjunction with the
         closing of the sale of the GSS business, and the disposition of its
         corporate aircraft.  These items were discussed in detail in CSG's
         Form 8-K dated December 15, 2005.

    (4)  CSG incurred certain nonrecurring charges in conjunction with the
         termination of its agreement with FairPoint Communications
         ("FairPoint").  This item was discussed in greater detail in CSG's
         Form 8-K dated November 9, 2005.



    Discontinued Operations
    On December 9, 2005, CSG completed the previously announced sale of its
GSS business to Comverse, Inc.  The cash purchase price received upon closing
was approximately $239 million (net of approximately $8 million of cash
included in the GSS business sold), which resulted in a pretax gain on the
sale of the GSS business of $22.8 million.  The final purchase price is
subject to certain post-closing adjustments.
    On December 30, 2005, CSG completed the sale of its plaNet Consulting
business to a group of private investors led by the plaNet management team.
The plaNet business sold excludes the Broadband Professional Services Group
and the ICMS Service Bureau processing business (which consists entirely of
the FairPoint contract), both of which were retained by CSG, and as a result,
are included in CSG's results of continuing operations in all periods
presented.  The cash purchase price received upon closing was $1.5 million,
which resulted in a pretax loss on the sale of the plaNet business of
$12.8 million.  The final purchase price is subject to certain post-closing
adjustments.
    See Exhibit 1 to this press release for CSG's restated historical
financial statements to reflect the impact of reporting the GSS and plaNet
businesses as discontinued operations.

    The components of the GSS and plaNet businesses included in discontinued
operations are as follows (in thousands):

    (5)  The determination of the gain and the related income tax impact
         associated with the accounting for the sale of the GSS business are
         unusually complex and are still under review by the company, and thus
         may change as the company finalizes its analysis.

    (6)  In addition to the restructuring charges of $6.2 million noted under
         note (4) above, CSG also recorded a reduction of revenue of
         $0.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 related to the termination
         of its contract with FairPoint.

    (7)  These items are calculated in accordance with GAAP, and are reflected
         as part of continuing operations in the accompanying Unaudited
         Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.  There is $4.2 million
         of stock-based compensation included in restructuring charges for the
         three and twelve months ended December 31, 2005, respectively.

    (8)  These items (on a pretax basis) are included in CSG's determination
         of income from continuing operations on a GAAP basis.

    (9)  This represents the after tax impact to income from continuing
         operations on a per diluted share basis using CSG's annual effective
         income tax rates from continuing operations of 35% and 36%,
         respectively, for the three and twelve months ended December 31,
         2005, and 36.5% for both the three and twelve months ended
         December 31, 2004.



    Financial Condition
    As of December 31, 2005, CSG had cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments of $392.2 million, compared to $161.4 million as of September 30,
2005.  The significant increase between periods relates primarily to the cash
proceeds received from the sale of the GSS business.  Net billed accounts
receivable related to continuing operations were $104.8 million as of
December 31, 2005, compared to $94.3 million as of September 30, 2005 and
$91.9 million as of December 31, 2004 (exclusive of amounts related to the GSS
and plaNet businesses).
    Cash flows related to continuing operations have not been segregated from
cash flows related to discontinued operations in the accompanying Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.  Cash flows from operations for the
quarter ended December 31, 2005 were $15.7 million, compared to $24.7 million
for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, and $22.3 million for the quarter
ended December 31, 2004.  Cash flows from operations for the fourth quarter of
2005 were negatively impacted by approximately $10 million due to a key client
delaying payment of an invoice until after quarterend.  This amount was
received in January 2006.

    Stock Repurchase Program
    During the fourth quarter of 2005, CSG's Board of Directors increased the
total number of authorized shares to be repurchased under CSG's stock
repurchase program by five million shares.
    In April 2005, CSG established a Rule 10b5-1 Plan to repurchase shares of
CSG common stock on the open market.  Any shares repurchased under the Rule
10b5-1 Plan are counted towards the 20 million share limit authorized under
the terms of CSG's stock repurchase program.  The Rule 10b5-1 Plan supplements
any other stock repurchases that CSG may decide to purchase under the existing
terms of the stock repurchase program.  The maximum quarterly repurchase
limitation established under the Rule 10b5-1 Plan is $15 million.
    During the fourth quarter of 2005, CSG repurchased approximately
645,000 shares of its common stock at a total purchase price of $15.0 million
(a weighted-average price of $23.24 per share).  Including these shares, the
total shares repurchased under CSG's stock repurchase program since its
inception in August 1999 is 13.1 million shares, at a total repurchase price
of $325.6 million (a weighted-average price of $24.80 per share).  As of
December 31, 2005, the remaining number of shares authorized for repurchase
under the stock repurchase program is 6.9 million shares.

    First Quarter 2006 and Full Year 2006 Financial Guidance
    CSG's financial guidance for continuing operations for the first quarter
2006 and for the full year 2006 is as follows:



                     First Quarter - 2006          Full Year - 2006
    Revenues         $90 - $92 million             $365 - $375 million
    GAAP EPS         $0.30 - $0.31                 $1.25 - $1.35
    Cash flows from
     operations      $16 - $18 million             $90 - $100 million
    Diluted shares
     outstanding     Approximately 47.5 million    Approximately 46.5 million



    There are certain expected key operating income items and non-cash items

impact of these items, and is provided to assist readers in further evaluating

    This news release contains forward-looking statements as defined under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that are based on assumptions about a
number of important factors and involve risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from what appears in this news
release.  These factors include, but are not limited to:  1) CSG's ability to
continue to perform satisfactorily and maintain good customer relations with
its three largest clients, Comcast Corporation, EchoStar Communications, and
Time Warner, Inc., which combined make up over 50% of CSG's revenues from
continuing operations; 2) the continued acceptance of CSG ACP and its related
products and services; 3) CSG's ability to enhance current products and
develop new technology that will retain existing clients and capture new
market share; 4) significant forays into new markets, which may prove costly
and unprofitable; 5) the degree to which CSG's expectations of market
penetration and consumer acceptance of advanced IP services prove true -- and
even if realized, CSG's ability to meet the billing and customer care needs of
those markets; 6) client consolidation, which has decreased the number of
potential buyers for many of CSG's products and services; 7)  CSG's ability to
renew contracts and sell additional products and services to existing and new
clients; and 8) CSG's ability to successfully deliver on lengthy and/or
complex implementation projects, which by their nature, carry much more risk.
This list is not exhaustive and readers are encouraged to review the
additional risks and important factors described in CSG's reports on Forms
10-K and 10-Q and other filings made with the SEC.
