Colicchio wrote:

“We expect SYKES to report Q3/18 non‐GAAP EPS of $0.57, which exceeds the FactSet consensus of $0.56. Our forecast represents a year‐over‐year (YOY) decline of 8% and a sequential increase of 36%. The sequential improvement is largely due to better gross margins and a decline in general and administrative (G&A) costs. The former was due to restructuring actions taken by management to reduce U.S. capacity.”
