Verint also Announces Plan to Separate into Two Independent Public Companies, Strategic Investment from Apax Funds, New Share Buyback Program and Two New Directors

MELVILLE, N.Y.--()--Verint® Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: VRNT), a global Actionable Intelligence® leader, today announced results for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2019 (FY2020). Revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2019 was $325 million on a GAAP basis and $331 million on a non-GAAP basis. Diluted EPS for the three months ended October 31, 2019 was $0.17 on a GAAP basis and $0.94 on a non-GAAP basis. Revenue for the nine months ended October 31, 2019 was $964 million on a GAAP basis and $987 million on a non-GAAP basis. Diluted EPS for the nine months ended October 31, 2019 was $0.35 on a GAAP basis and $2.48 on a non-GAAP basis.

“We are pleased with our third quarter performance and the successful execution of our strategic plan. In Customer Engagement, we experienced strong cloud momentum evidenced by strong cloud revenue growth and strong new SaaS bookings growth. In Cyber Intelligence, our transition to a software model is ahead of this year's plan with strong gross margin expansion. We believe our strong operational execution coupled with the strategic initiatives discussed below will position both businesses to continue to prosper and drive shareholder value long-term,” said Dan Bodner, CEO of Verint.

Strategic Initiatives

Today, we also announced a plan to separate Verint into two independent public companies shortly after the end of Verint’s next fiscal year ending January 31, 2021. In connection with the separation, we entered into a minority investment agreement with funds advised by Apax partners. In addition, we also announced a $300 million share buyback program over the period ending on February 1, 2021 (on or shortly before the planned business separation). For more information regarding these announcements please see Verint’s Press Release titled “Verint Announces Plan to Separate into Two Independent Publicly Traded Companies” also issued today.

New Directors with Cloud Experience

Verint is also announcing the appointment of two new members of our Board of Directors. First, Mr. Andrew Miller was elected to the Verint Board bringing over 20 years of software experience. Mr. Miller is also serving on Verint’s Audit Committee. Most recently, Mr. Miller was Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of PTC Inc., where he successfully led PTC's transition from a perpetual license business model to a subscription business model. Prior to PTC, Mr. Miller was an executive with enterprise software companies, including Cadence and Autodesk.

Also joining the Board is Mr. Jason Wright, a partner at Apax Partners. Mr. Wright will join the Verint Board upon closing of the first tranche of the Apax investment (expected during our first quarter ending April 30, 2020). Mr. Wright leads Apax’s technology investment practice and has significant experience in carve-outs and cloud transitions. Apax has significant experience in the software sector, including through previous investments in TriZetto, Plex Systems, RealPage, Sophos, Epicor and Exact Software.

Customer Engagement Highlights

Bodner continued, “In the third quarter, we experienced more than a 60% increase in cloud revenue and more than a 100% increase in new SaaS ACV bookings, reflecting our Customer Engagement cloud leadership. Our cloud software is designed for both SMB and enterprise customers and our cloud deployment models are flexible and address the specific cloud journeys of our customers. We are seeing more and more large enterprises embrace cloud and had 23 cloud contracts with a TCV of more than $1 million year-to-date compared to eight cloud contracts in the same period in the prior year.”

Below is our non-GAAP outlook for our Customer Engagement segment:

  • For fiscal 2020, we expect non-GAAP revenue of $900 million, reflecting 11% year-over-year growth.
  • For fiscal 2021, in addition to initial non-GAAP revenue guidance, we are introducing a new operational metric - new perpetual license equivalent bookings - which management uses to measure the software growth of our business irrespective to customers’ choice of perpetual or SaaS in a given period. For fiscal 2021, we expect a 10% increase in new perpetual license equivalent bookings and a 7% increase in non-GAAP revenue. We believe both metrics are useful for investors to better understand the growth dynamics in our business.

Cyber Intelligence Segment

Bodner added, “In the third quarter, we continued to see a reduction in low margin hardware and services revenue resulting from our transition to a software model. We believe customers benefit from having our software, easier to implement and more rapidly refreshed. Verint benefits from further competitive differentiation and margin expansion.”

Below is our non-GAAP outlook for our Cyber Intelligence segment:

  • For fiscal 2020, we now expect non-GAAP estimated fully allocated gross profit growth of more than 10% on non-GAAP revenue of $460 million.
  • For fiscal 2021, our initial outlook is for another year of 10% non-GAAP estimated fully allocated gross profit growth and 7% non-GAAP revenue growth as we continue to execute our software model and we expect continued gross margin expansion.

Non-GAAP Outlook for FY2020 and FY2021

  • Our non-GAAP outlook for revenue and EPS for the year ending January 31, 2020 is as follows:
    • Revenue: $1.360 billion with a range of +/- 2%
      • Reflects 9.2% year-over-year growth
    • EPS: $3.65 at the midpoint of our revenue guidance
      • Reflects 14% year-over-year growth
  • Our initial non-GAAP outlook for revenue and EPS for the year ending January 31, 2021 is as follows:
    • Revenue Growth: Approximately 7%
    • EPS: Approximately $4.00
      • Reflects 10% year-over-year growth

Our non-GAAP outlook for the year ending January 31, 2020 excludes the following GAAP measures which we are able to quantify with reasonable certainty:

  • Amortization of intangible assets of approximately $55 million, less than $3 million of which is included within cost of revenue for our Cyber Intelligence segment.
  • Amortization of discount on convertible notes of approximately $12 million.

Our non-GAAP outlook for the year ending January 31, 2020 excludes the following GAAP measures for which we are able to provide a range of probable significance:

  • Revenue adjustments are expected to be between approximately $26 million and $28 million, all but a negligible amount of which are included in our Customer Engagement segment.
  • Stock-based compensation is expected to be between approximately $74 million and $77 million, assuming market prices for our common stock approximately consistent with current levels, less than 5% of which is included within cost of revenue for our Cyber Intelligence segment.

Our initial non-GAAP outlook for the year ending January 31, 2021 excludes the following GAAP measures which we are able to quantify with reasonable certainty:

  • Amortization of intangible assets of approximately $49 million, less than $1 million of which is included within cost of revenue for our Cyber Intelligence segment.
  • Amortization of discount on convertible notes of approximately $13 million.

Our initial non-GAAP outlook for the year ending January 31, 2021 excludes the following GAAP measures for which we are able to provide a range of probable significance:

  • Revenue adjustments are expected to be between approximately $9 million and $11 million, all of which are included in our Customer Engagement segment.
  • Stock-based compensation is expected to be between approximately $78 million and $82 million, assuming market prices for our common stock approximately consistent with current levels, less than 5% of which is included within cost of revenue for our Cyber Intelligence segment.

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, without unreasonable efforts, to provide a reconciliation for other GAAP measures which are excluded from our non-GAAP outlook, including the impact of future business acquisitions or acquisition expenses, future restructuring expenses, expenses to separate Verint into two independent public companies (as discussed above), and non-GAAP income tax adjustments due to the level of unpredictability and uncertainty associated with these items. For these same reasons, we are unable to assess the probable significance of these excluded items. While historical results may not be indicative of future results, actual amounts for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2019 and 2018 for the GAAP measures excluded from our non-GAAP outlook appear in Tables 2 and 3 to this press release.

(1) Represents the stock-based compensation expenses applicable to cost of revenue, allocated proportionally based upon our year ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, annual operations and service expense wages for each segment, which we believe provides a reasonable approximation for purposes of understanding the relative GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins of our two businesses.

(2) Represents the stock-based compensation expenses applicable to research and development, net and selling, general and administrative, allocated proportionally based upon our non-GAAP segment revenue for the year ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which we believe provides a reasonable approximation for purposes of understanding the relative non-GAAP operating margins of our two businesses.

(3) Represents our shared support expenses (as disclosed in footnote 16 to our October 31, 2019 Form 10-Q, when filed), allocated proportionally based upon our non-GAAP segment revenue for the year ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which we believe provides a reasonable approximation for purposes of understanding the relative non-GAAP operating margins of our two businesses.

(4) Represents the portion of our acquisition expenses, net and restructuring expenses applicable to cost of revenue, allocated proportionally based upon our year ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, annual non-GAAP segment revenue, which we believe provides a reasonable approximation for purposes of understanding the relative GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins of our two businesses.

(5) Represents certain depreciation and amortization expenses, which are otherwise included in our non-GAAP operating income, allocated proportionally based upon our non-GAAP segment revenue for the year ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which we believe provides a reasonable approximation for purposes of understanding the relative adjusted EBITDA of our two businesses.

(1) Segment expenses include expenses incurred directly by our two segments.

(2) Shared support expenses include certain operating expenses that are provided by shared resources or are otherwise generally not controlled by segment management. The majority of which are for administrative support functions, such as information technology, human resources, finance, legal, and other general corporate support, and for occupancy expenses.

(1) Revenue for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2019 at constant currency is calculated by translating current-period GAAP or non-GAAP foreign currency revenue (as applicable) into U.S. dollars using average foreign currency exchange rates for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2018 rather than actual current-period foreign currency exchange rates.

Verint Systems Inc. and Subsidiaries
Supplemental Information About Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Operating Metrics

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, consisting of non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP software (includes cloud and support), non-GAAP professional services, non-GAAP recurring revenue, non-GAAP nonrecurring revenue, non-GAAP cloud revenue, non-GAAP SaaS revenue, non-GAAP optional managed services revenue, estimated fully allocated cost of revenue, estimated GAAP and non-GAAP fully allocated gross profit and gross margins, estimated GAAP and non-GAAP fully allocated research and development, net, estimated GAAP and non-GAAP fully allocated selling, general and administrative expenses, estimated GAAP and non-GAAP fully allocated operating income and operating margins, 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., estimated fully allocated adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margins, net debt, non-GAAP segment expenses, non-GAAP shared support expenses and constant currency measures. The tables above 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, 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. We exclude from our non-GAAP revenue the impact of fair value adjustments required under GAAP relating to cloud services and customer support contracts acquired in a business acquisition, 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 already included within restructuring or acquisition activity), rent expense for redundant facilities, gains or losses on sales of property, gains or losses on settlements of certain legal matters, and certain professional fees unrelated to our ongoing operations, including $7.8 million of fees and expenses related to a shareholder proxy contest that was settled during three months ended July 31, 2019, 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. 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, 2020 is currently approximately 9%, and was 11% for the year ended January 31, 2019. 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.

Customer Engagement Revenue Metrics and Operating Metrics

Software (includes cloud and support) includes, software licenses, appliances, SaaS and optional managed services.

Cloud revenue, on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, primarily consists of SaaS and optional managed services.

SaaS revenue includes bundled SaaS, software with standard managed services and unbundled SaaS that we account for as term licenses where managed services are purchased separately.

Optional Managed Services is recurring services that are intended to improve our customers operations and reduce expenses.

New SaaS Annual Contract Value (ACV) includes the annualized contract value of all new SaaS contracts received within the period; in cases where SaaS is offered to partners through usage-based contracts, we include the incremental value of usage contracts over a rolling four quarters.

New Perpetual License Equivalent Bookings are used to normalize between perpetual and SaaS bookings and measure overall software growth. We calculate new perpetual license equivalent bookings by multiplying New SaaS ACV bookings (excluding bookings from maintenance conversions) by a conversion factor of 2.0 and adding that amount to perpetual license bookings. The conversion factor of 2.0 is an estimate that is derived from an analysis of our historical bookings and may change over time. Management uses perpetual license equivalent bookings to understand our performance, including our software growth and SaaS/perpetual license mix. This metric should not be viewed in isolation from other operating metrics that we make available to investors.

Cyber Intelligence Recurring and Nonrecurring Revenue Metrics

Recurring revenue, on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, primarily consists of initial and renewal support, subscription software licenses, and SaaS in certain limited transactions.

Nonrecurring revenue, on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, primarily consists of our perpetual licenses, long-term projects including software customizations that are recognized over time using a percentage of completion (“POC”) method, consulting, implementation and installation services, training, and hardware.

We believe that recurring and nonrecurring revenue provide investors with useful insight into the nature and sustainability of our revenue streams. The recurrence of these revenue streams in future periods depends on a number of factors including contractual periods and customers' renewal decisions. Please see “Revenue adjustments” above for an explanation for why we present these revenue numbers on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis.

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, 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 companies 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, restricted cash equivalents, restricted bank time deposits, and restricted investments (including long-term portions), 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.
