Q1 ARR Growth Accelerates to 6% Year-over-Year, Reflecting Continued AI Momentum

Revenue and Non-GAAP Diluted EPS Ahead of Guidance Due to Timing of Two Unbundled SaaS Deals

Verint® (NASDAQ:VRNT), The CX Automation Company™, today announced results for the three months ended April 30, 2025 (FYE 2026).

"I am pleased to start the year with a strong first quarter. In Q1, ARR growth accelerated to 6% year-over-year and both revenue and non-GAAP diluted EPS came in ahead of guidance. The combination of a strong first quarter and a growing pipeline for our AI-powered solutions gives us confidence that we are on track to achieve our annual targets and exit the year with 8% year-over-year ARR growth", said Dan Bodner CEO and Chairman.

Bodner continued, "Behind our strong AI momentum are two key differentiators. First, our ability to transform the latest AI technology into strong, tangible AI business outcomes, delivering customer value better than any other CX vendor. And second, our ability to deploy AI in a hybrid cloud model, layering our AI-powered bots on top of existing customer environments. With Verint, customers can benefit from AI value now, without delay, and can start small with quick AI deployments in real production environments, and once they prove the value for themselves, then they can quickly scale with the Verint platform."

First Quarter Highlights

Key operating and financial highlights are set forth below. The definitions of our operating metrics and non-GAAP financial measures, and a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP measures are included at the end of this press release.

(in millions, except as noted)	Q1 FYE 2026
Subscription ARR	$710
Year-over-Year	6.3%
AI ARR	$354
Year-over-Year	24.1%
Revenue	$208
Net Loss Per Share / Diluted EPS (GAAP / non-GAAP)	$(0.04) / $0.29

Grant Highlander, Chief Financial Officer added, "In Q1, AI ARR which includes AI-powered software increased 24% year-over-year. We are pleased with our AI ARR growth acceleration and AI now represents close to 50% of our total ARR. For the year, we expect AI ARR to continue to grow more than 20%, an acceleration from last year. Our planned 8% ARR growth for the year combined with cash contribution margin expansion is expected to drive a 12% increase in free cash flow for the full year. The largest use of our free cash flow continues to be stock buybacks and during Q1 we completed the purchase of approximately 2.5 million common shares."

FYE 2026 Outlook

Below is our guidance for the year ending January 31, 2026.

(in millions)	FYE 2026 Outlook
Subscription ARR (as of Q4 FYE 2026)	$768 million +/- 1%, reflecting 8% growth year-over-year
Cash Generation	$960 million +/- 1%
Cash Contribution	$245 million at mid-point of Cash Generation
Revenue	$960 million +/- 3%, wider range reflects impact of ASC 606
Non-GAAP Diluted EPS	$2.93 at midpoint of revenue guidance

Our non-GAAP outlook for the three months ending July 31, 2025 and year ending January 31, 2026 excludes the following GAAP measure which we are able to quantify with reasonable certainty:

Amortization of intangible assets of approximately $6 million and $24 million, for the three months ending July 31, 2025 and year ending January 31, 2026, respectively.

Our non-GAAP outlook for the three months ending July 31, 2025 and year ending January 31, 2026 excludes the following GAAP measures for which we are able to provide a range of probable significance:

Stock-based compensation expenses are expected to be between approximately $14 million and $17 million, and between approximately $59 million and $63 million, for the three months ending July 31, 2025 and year ending January 31, 2026, respectively, 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, 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, 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 months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 for the GAAP measures excluded from our non-GAAP outlook appear in Table 3 of this press release.

Q1 Conference Call Information

We will conduct a conference call today at 4:30 p.m. ET to discuss our results for the three months ended April 30, 2025 and outlook.

(1) Revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2025 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 months ended April 30, 2024 rather than actual current-period foreign currency exchange rates. (2) Revenue denominated in non-U.S. dollars was 21% and 18% of our total revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. (3) Our combined GAAP cost of revenue and operating expenses denominated in non-U.S. dollars was 33% and 32% of our total combined GAAP cost of revenue and operating expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our combined non-GAAP cost of revenue and operating expenses denominated in non-U.S. dollars was 34% of our total combined non-GAAP cost of revenue and operating expenses for each of the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024.

Verint Systems Inc. and Subsidiaries

Supplemental Information About Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Operating Metrics

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, consisting of non-GAAP gross profit and gross margins, non-GAAP research and development, net, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating income and operating margins, non-GAAP other income (expense), net, non-GAAP provision for (benefit from) income taxes and non-GAAP effective income tax rate, non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Verint Systems Inc. common shares, non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per common share attributable to Verint Systems Inc., adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue, net debt, free cash flow 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:

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 unit and performance stock unit 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.

Acquisition and divestitures expenses (benefit), net. In connection with acquisition activity (including with respect to acquisitions that are not consummated), we incur expenses (benefits), 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. In connection with divestiture activity, we exclude the gain or loss on divestiture as well as any expenses incurred, including legal, accounting, and other professional fees. 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 (benefit). We exclude restructuring expenses (benefit) from our non-GAAP financial measures, which include employee termination costs, facility exit costs, certain professional fees, asset impairment charges (except as included in acquisition), 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), 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, all of which are unusual in nature and can vary significantly in amount and frequency. We also exclude from our non-GAAP financial measures separation expenses incurred in connection with the spin-off of our former Cyber Intelligence Solutions business, including insurance and other expense adjustments associated with a tax-related indemnification asset as a result of the spin-off. These costs were incremental to our normal operating expenses and were incurred solely as a result of the separation transaction.

Non-GAAP income tax adjustments. We exclude from our non-GAAP measures of net income attributable to Verint Systems Inc., our GAAP provision for (benefit from) income taxes 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, 2026 is currently approximately 11% and was 12% for the year ended January 31, 2025. 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.

Definition of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Metrics

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, stock-based compensation expenses, 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 expenses, 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 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.

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as GAAP cash provided by operating activities less our capital expenditures, which include purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs.

Recurring revenue, on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, is the portion of our revenue that we believe is likely to be renewed in the future, and primarily consists of SaaS revenue, optional managed services revenue and initial and renewal post contract support.

Nonrecurring perpetual revenue, on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, primarily consists of our perpetual licenses and hardware.

Nonrecurring professional services and other revenue, on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, primarily consists of our installation services, business advisory consulting and training services, and patent royalties.

SaaS revenue, on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, includes bundled SaaS, software with standard managed services and unbundled SaaS (including associated support) that we account for as term licenses where managed services are purchased separately.

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 revenue, GAAP and non-GAAP cost of revenue, and GAAP and non-GAAP 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 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, 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. 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.

Operating Metrics

Subscription Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) represents the annualized quarterly run-rate value of our active or signed subscription agreements at the end of the period and is comprised of the ARR calculated for our SaaS, Support, and Optional Managed Services contracts. Under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, we are required to recognize a significant portion of our Unbundled SaaS contracts at a point in time when the software is first made available to the customer, or at the beginning of the subscription term, despite the fact that our contracts typically call for billing these amounts annually or more frequently over the life of the subscription. This point-in-time recognition of a portion of our recurring revenue creates significant variability in the revenue recognized period to period based on the timing of the subscription start date and the subscription term and can create a significant difference between the timing of our revenue recognition and the actual customer billing under the contract. We use ARR to measure the underlying performance of our subscription-based contracts and mitigate the impact of this variability as ARR reduces fluctuations due to seasonality, contract term, and the sales mix of subscriptions. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue, and does not represent our revenue under ASC 606 on an annualized basis, as it is an operating metric that is impacted by contract start and end dates and renewal rates. ARR is not intended to be a replacement for forecasts of revenue and does not include revenue reported as nonrecurring revenue in our consolidated statement of operations. ARR does not have any standardized meaning and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Investors should consider our ARR operating measure only in conjunction with our GAAP financial results.

AI Annual Recurring Revenue (AI ARR) is the portion of ARR that is derived from solutions that include AI-functionality, and represents the annualized quarterly run-rate value of the associated active or signed SaaS agreements as of the end of a period. At present, these AI solutions are hosted by Verint.

Non-AI Annual Recurring Revenue (Non-AI ARR) is the portion of ARR that is derived from our SaaS, Support, and Optional Managed Services contracts that do not include AI-functionality, and represents the annualized quarterly run rate of such active or signed agreements as of the end of a period.

Cash Generation represents the sum of ARR and nonrecurring perpetual and nonrecurring professional services and other revenue and provides an estimate of the cash-producing potential of our entire business.

Cash Contribution is defined as Cash Generation less non-GAAP cost of revenue and operating expenses and helps assess how effectively we convert our revenue streams into cash.
