“We are pleased to report another stellar quarter in which our financial performance and continued innovation are redefining our competitive edge, propelling us far ahead of the industry and solidifying NICE as the go-to partner for enterprises across the globe,” said Barak Eilam, CEO of NICE. “Total revenue of $690 million increased 15% compared to the same period last year, and robust profitability, marked by a 140-basis point increase in non-GAAP operating margin to a record 32%, an impressive 27% leap in non-GAAP EPS to $2.88, and another exceptional quarter of operating cash flow of $159 million, are setting new industry benchmarks.”

Mr. Eilam continued, “We owe these great results to the power of our cutting-edge AI innovation, where we delivered an outstanding quarter and an acceleration in deal signings and bookings for our CXone AI offerings, including Copilot, Autopilot and Autosummary. Our strength in AI-powered automated customer service and our market leading CXone platform, are reshaping the industry landscape as we continue to displace multiple on-premises and cloud customer service solution providers.”

Explanation of Non-GAAP measures

Non-GAAP financial measures are included in this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition related and other expenses, amortization of discount on debt and loss from extinguishment of debt and the tax effect of the Non-GAAP adjustments.

The Company believes that 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. We believe Non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of our business. Our management regularly uses our supplemental Non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and to make financial, strategic and operating decisions. These Non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Our Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These Non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company provides guidance only on a Non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of guidance from a GAAP to Non-GAAP basis is not available due to the unpredictability and uncertainty associated with future events that would be reported in GAAP results and would require adjustments between GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures, including the impact of future possible business acquisitions. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the guidance based on Non-GAAP financial measures to corresponding GAAP financial measures for future periods is not available without unreasonable effort.
