CEO Commentary
“Verint is an actionable intelligence leader in two markets, Customer Engagement and Cyber Intelligence. In Customer Engagement, we continue to focus our strategy across four pillars: expanding our portfolio; delivering advanced analytics; offering deployment flexibility; and, growing our partner network. We are pleased with the progress we have made year-to-date on our strategy, and expect our Customer Engagement business to achieve mid-single digit non-GAAP revenue growth on a constant currency basis for the year, and similar growth next fiscal year," said Dan Bodner, Verint CEO and President.
“In Cyber Intelligence, we are pleased with our strong recent order activity reflecting governments' need for sophisticated cyber intelligence solutions to address pressing security threats. We expect to finish the year with a strong fourth quarter and expect mid-to-high single digit revenue growth on a constant currency basis next year in Cyber Intelligence,” Bodner continued.
“This is the first quarter we are reporting as two segments and we are taking steps to provide our two businesses greater agility to extend market leadership in their respective markets,” concluded Bodner.
Financial Outlook
Below is Verint's non-GAAP outlook for the year ending January 31, 2017.
- We expect total revenue to be $1.075 billion +/- 2.0% and diluted earnings per share to be approximately $2.50 at the mid-point of our revenue guidance.
Below is Verint's non-GAAP preliminary outlook for the year ending January 31, 2018.
- In Customer Engagement, we expect mid-single digit revenue growth on a constant currency basis.
- In Cyber Intelligence, we expect mid-to-high single digit revenue growth on a constant currency basis.
- Overall, we expect our earnings to grow slightly faster than revenue with some operating margin improvement.
We are not providing a complete quantitative reconciliation of our non-GAAP outlook to the corresponding GAAP information because the GAAP measures that we exclude from our non-GAAP outlook are uncertain and difficult to predict, and are therefore not available without unreasonable effort. Moreover, because of these uncertainties, we are only able to assess a range of the probable significance for some but not all of these excluded GAAP measures.
Our non-GAAP outlook for the year ending January 31, 2017 excludes the following GAAP measures which we are able to quantify with reasonable certainty:
- Amortization of intangible assets - approximately $80 million.
- Amortization of discount on convertible notes - approximately $11 million.
Our non-GAAP outlook for the year ending January 31, 2017 excludes the following GAAP measures for which we are able to provide a range of probable significance:
- Revenue adjustments related to completed acquisitions - for the nine months ended October 31, 2016, revenue adjustments related to completed acquisitions were approximately $7 million, and are expected to be between approximately $7 million and $8 million for the year ending January 31, 2017.
- Stock-based compensation - for the nine months ended October 31, 2016, stock-based compensation was approximately $46 million, and is expected to be between approximately $60 million and $65 million for the year ending January 31, 2017, assuming market prices for our common stock approximately consistent with current levels.
Our non-GAAP outlook does not include the potential impact of any in-process business acquisitions that may close after the date hereof, and, unless otherwise specified, reflects foreign currency exchange rates approximately consistent with current rates.
We are unable to assess the probable significance of other GAAP measures which are excluded from our non-GAAP outlook, including the impact of future business acquisitions or acquisition expenses, future restructuring expenses, and non-GAAP tax adjustments due to the level of unpredictability and uncertainty associated with these items. Actual amounts for these measures for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2016 appear in Table 3 to this press release.

of general economic conditions in the United States and abroad,
particularly in information technology spending and government budgets,
on our business; risks associated with our ability to keep pace with
technological changes, evolving industry standards, and customer
challenges, such as the proliferation and strengthening of encryption
and the transition of portions of the software market to the cloud, to
adapt to changing market potential from area to area within our markets,
and to successfully develop, launch, and drive demand for new,
innovative, high-quality products that meet or exceed customer needs,
while simultaneously preserving our legacy businesses; risks due to
aggressive competition in all of our markets, including with respect to
maintaining margins and sufficient levels of investment in our business;
risks created by the continued consolidation of our competitors or the
introduction of large competitors in our markets with greater resources
than we have; risks associated with our ability to successfully compete
for, consummate, and implement mergers and acquisitions, including risks
associated with valuations, capital constraints, costs and expenses,
maintaining profitability levels, expansion into new areas, management
distraction, post-acquisition integration activities, and potential
asset impairments; risks relating to our ability to effectively and
efficiently enhance our existing operations and execute on our growth
strategy and profitability goals, including managing investments in our
business and operations, managing our cloud transition and our revenue
mix, and enhancing and securing our internal and external operations;
risks associated with our ability to effectively and efficiently
allocate limited financial and human resources to business,
developmental, strategic, or other opportunities, and risk that such
investments may not come to fruition or produce satisfactory returns;
risks that we may be unable to establish and maintain relationships with
key resellers, partners, and systems integrators; risks associated with
our reliance on third-party suppliers, partners, or original equipment
manufacturers (“OEMs”) for certain components, products, or services,
including companies that may compete with us or work with our
competitors; risks associated with the mishandling or perceived
mishandling of sensitive or confidential information and with security
vulnerabilities or lapses, including information technology system
breaches, failures, or disruptions; risks that our products or services,
or those of third-party suppliers, partners, or OEMs which we
incorporate into our offerings or otherwise rely on, may contain defects
or may be vulnerable to cyber-attacks; risks associated with our
significant international operations, including, among others, in
Israel, Europe, and Asia, exposure to regions subject to political or
economic instability, and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; risks
associated with a significant amount of our business coming from
domestic and foreign government customers, including the ability to
maintain security clearances for applicable projects; risks associated
with complex and changing local and foreign regulatory environments in
the jurisdictions in which we operate; risks associated with our ability
to retain and recruit qualified personnel in regions in which we
operate, including in new markets and growth areas we may enter;
challenges associated with selling sophisticated solutions, including
with respect to educating our customers on the benefits of our solutions
or assisting them in realizing such benefits; challenges associated with
pursuing larger sales opportunities, including with respect to longer
sales cycles, transaction reductions, deferrals, or cancellations during
the sales cycle, risk of customer concentration, our ability to
accurately forecast when a sales opportunity will convert to an order,
or to forecast revenue and expenses, and increased volatility of our
operating results from period to period; risks that our intellectual
property rights may not be adequate to protect our business or assets or
that others may make claims on our intellectual property or claim
infringement on their intellectual property rights; risks that our
customers or partners delay or cancel orders or are unable to honor
contractual commitments due to liquidity issues, challenges in their
business, or otherwise; risks that we may experience liquidity or
working capital issues and related risks that financing sources may be
unavailable to us on reasonable terms or at all; risks associated with
significant leverage resulting from our current debt position or our
ability to incur additional debt, including with respect to liquidity
considerations, covenant limitations and compliance, fluctuations in
interest rates, dilution considerations (with respect to our convertible
notes), and our ability to maintain our credit ratings; risks arising as
a result of contingent or other obligations or liabilities assumed in
our acquisition of our former parent company, Comverse Technology, Inc.
(“CTI”), or associated with formerly being consolidated with, and part
of a consolidated tax group with, CTI, or as a result of CTI's former
subsidiary, Xura, Inc. (formerly, Comverse, Inc.), being unwilling or
unable to provide us with certain indemnities or transition services to
which we are entitled; risks relating to the adequacy of our existing
infrastructure, systems, processes, policies, procedures, and personnel
and our ability to successfully implement and maintain adequate systems
and internal controls for our current and future operations and
reporting needs, including related risks of financial statement
omissions, misstatements, restatements, or filing delays; and risks
associated with changing tax rates, tax laws and regulations, and the
continuing availability of expected tax benefits. We assume no
obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement, except as
otherwise required by law. For a detailed discussion of these risk

Verint Systems Inc. and Subsidiaries
Supplemental
Information About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, consisting of non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin, non-GAAP operating income and operating margin, non-GAAP other income (expense), net, non-GAAP provision (benefit) for income taxes and non-GAAP effective income tax rate, non-GAAP net income attributable to Verint Systems Inc., non-GAAP net income per common share attributable to Verint Systems Inc., adjusted EBITDA, net debt, and constant currency measures. Tables 2 and 3 include a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure for completed periods presented in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
We believe these non-GAAP financial measures, used in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business by:
- facilitating the comparison of our financial results and business trends between periods, including by excluding certain items that either can vary significantly in amount and frequency, are based upon subjective assumptions, or in certain cases are unplanned for or difficult to forecast,
- facilitating the comparison of our financial results and business trends with other technology companies who publish similar non-GAAP measures, and
- allowing investors to see and understand key supplementary metrics used by our management to run our business, including for budgeting and forecasting, resource allocation, and compensation matters.
We also make these non-GAAP financial measures available because a number of our investors have informed us that they find this supplemental information useful.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation as substitutes for, or superior to, comparable GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures we present have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP, and these non-GAAP financial measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures do not represent discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business, and we may in the future incur expenses similar to or in addition to the adjustments made in these non-GAAP financial measures. Other companies may calculate similar non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
Our non-GAAP financial measures are calculated by making the following adjustments to our GAAP financial measures:
Revenue adjustments related to acquisitions. We exclude from our non-GAAP revenue the impact of fair value adjustments required under GAAP relating to acquired customer support contracts, which would have otherwise been recognized on a stand-alone basis. We believe that it is useful for investors to understand the total amount of revenue that we and the acquired company would have recognized on a stand-alone basis under GAAP, absent the accounting adjustment associated with the business acquisition. Our non-GAAP revenue also reflects certain adjustments from aligning an acquired company’s revenue recognition policies to our policies. We believe that our non-GAAP revenue measure helps management and investors understand our revenue trends and serves as a useful measure of ongoing business performance.
Amortization of acquired technology and other acquired intangible assets. When we acquire an entity, we are required under GAAP to record the fair values of the intangible assets of the acquired entity and amortize those assets over their useful lives. We exclude the amortization of acquired intangible assets, including acquired technology, from our non-GAAP financial measures because they are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of acquisitions. We also exclude these amounts to provide easier comparability of pre- and post-acquisition operating results.
Stock-based compensation expenses. We exclude stock-based compensation expenses related to restricted stock awards, stock bonus programs, bonus share programs, and other stock-based awards from our non-GAAP financial measures. We evaluate our performance both with and without these measures because stock-based compensation is typically a non-cash expense and can vary significantly over time based on the timing, size and nature of awards granted, and is influenced in part by certain factors which are generally beyond our control, such as the volatility of the price of our common stock. In addition, measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to varying valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions, and therefore we believe that excluding stock-based compensation from our non-GAAP financial measures allows for meaningful comparisons of our current operating results to our historical operating results and to other companies in our industry.
Unrealized gains and losses on certain derivatives, net. We exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures unrealized gains and losses on certain foreign currency derivatives which are not designated as hedges under accounting guidance. We exclude unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency derivatives that serve as economic hedges against variability in the cash flows of recognized assets or liabilities, or of forecasted transactions. These contracts, if designated as hedges under accounting guidance, would be considered “cash flow” hedges. These unrealized gains and losses are excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures because they are non-cash transactions which are highly variable from period to period. Upon settlement of these foreign currency derivatives, any realized gain or loss is included in our non-GAAP financial measures.
Amortization of convertible note discount. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude the amortization of the imputed discount on our convertible notes. Under GAAP, certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion are required to be bifurcated into separate liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components in a manner that reflects the issuer’s assumed non-convertible debt borrowing rate. For GAAP purposes, we are required to recognize imputed interest expense on the difference between our assumed non-convertible debt borrowing rate and the coupon rate on our $400.0 million of 1.50% convertible notes. This difference is excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that this expense is based upon subjective assumptions and does not reflect the cash cost of our convertible debt.
Acquisition Expenses, net. In connection with acquisition activity (including with respect to acquisitions that are not consummated), we incur expenses, including legal, accounting, and other professional fees, integration costs, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration obligations, and other costs. Integration costs may consist of information technology expenses as systems are integrated across the combined entity, consulting expenses, marketing expenses, and professional fees, as well as non-cash charges to write-off or impair the value of redundant assets. We exclude these expenses from our non-GAAP financial measures because they are unpredictable, can vary based on the size and complexity of each transaction, and are unrelated to our continuing operations or to the continuing operations of the acquired businesses.
Restructuring Expenses. We exclude restructuring expenses from our non-GAAP financial measures, which include employee termination costs, facility exit costs, certain professional fees, asset impairment charges, and other costs directly associated with resource realignments incurred in reaction to changing strategies or business conditions. All of these costs can vary significantly in amount and frequency based on the nature of the actions as well as the changing needs of our business and we believe that excluding them provides easier comparability of pre- and post-restructuring operating results.
Impairment Charges and Other Adjustments. We exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures asset impairment charges other than those associated with restructuring or acquisition activity, rent expense for redundant facilities, and gains or losses on sales of property, all of which are unusual in nature and can vary significantly in amount and frequency.
Non-GAAP income tax adjustments. We exclude our GAAP provision (benefit) for income taxes from our non-GAAP measures of net income attributable to Verint Systems Inc., and instead include a non-GAAP provision for income taxes, determined by applying a non-GAAP effective income tax rate to our income before provision for income taxes, as adjusted for the non-GAAP items described above. The non-GAAP effective income tax rate is generally based upon the income taxes we expect to pay in the reporting year. We adjust our non-GAAP effective income tax rate to exclude current-year tax payments or refunds associated with prior-year income tax returns and related amendments which were significantly delayed as a result of our previous extended filing delay. Our GAAP effective income tax rate can vary significantly from year to year as a result of tax law changes, settlements with tax authorities, changes in the geographic mix of earnings including acquisition activity, changes in the projected realizability of deferred tax assets, and other unusual or period-specific events, all of which can vary in size and frequency. We believe that our non-GAAP effective income tax rate removes much of this variability and facilitates meaningful comparisons of operating results across periods. Our non-GAAP effective income tax rate for the year ending January 31, 2017 is currently approximately 9%, and was 8.1% for the year ended January 31, 2016. We evaluate our non-GAAP effective income tax rate on an ongoing basis and it can change from time to time. Our non-GAAP income tax rate can differ materially from our GAAP effective income tax rate.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, revenue adjustments related to acquisitions, restructuring expenses, acquisition expenses, and other expenses excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures as described above. We believe that adjusted EBITDA is also commonly used by investors to evaluate operating performance between competitors because it helps reduce variability caused by differences in capital structures, income taxes, stock-based compensation accounting policies, and depreciation and amortization policies. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by credit rating agencies, lenders, and other parties to evaluate our creditworthiness.
Net Debt
Net Debt is a non-GAAP measure defined as the sum of long-term and short-term debt on our consolidated balance sheet, excluding unamortized discounts and issuance costs, less the sum of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and bank time deposits, and short-term investments. We use this non-GAAP financial measure to help evaluate our capital structure, financial leverage, and our ability to reduce debt and to fund investing and financing activities, and believe that it provides useful information to investors.
Supplemental Information About Constant Currency
Because we operate on a global basis and transact business in many currencies, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can affect our consolidated U.S. dollar operating results. To facilitate the assessment of our performance excluding the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, we calculate our GAAP and non-GAAP revenue, cost of revenue, and operating expenses on both an as-reported basis and a constant currency basis, allowing for comparison of results between periods as if foreign currency exchange rates had remained constant. We perform our constant currency calculations by translating current-period foreign currency results into U.S. dollars using prior-period average foreign currency exchange rates or hedge rates, as applicable, rather than current period exchange rates. We believe that constant currency measures, which exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, facilitate the assessment of underlying business trends.
Unless otherwise indicated, our financial outlook for revenue, operating margin, and diluted earnings per share, which is provided on a non-GAAP basis, reflects foreign currency exchange rates approximately consistent with rates in effect when the outlook is provided.
We also incur foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the revaluation and settlement of monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency. We periodically report our historical non-GAAP diluted net income per share both inclusive and exclusive of these net foreign exchange gains or losses. Our financial outlook for diluted earnings per share includes net foreign exchange gains or losses incurred to date, if any, but does not include potential future gains or losses.
