The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 6, 2020. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

 

  b.

Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

  c.

Revenue recognition

The Company generates revenues from sales of software products, services and cloud, which include software license, software-as-a-service, network connectivity, hosting, support and maintenance, implementation, configuration, project management, consulting and training. The Company sells its products directly through its sales force and indirectly through a global network of distributors, system integrators and strategic partners, all of whom are considered end-users.

The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with ASC No. 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Under the standard, the Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for contracts that are within the scope of the standard, the Company perform the following five steps:

NOTE 2:-  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

1) Identify the contract(s) with a customer

A contract with a customer exists when (i) there is an enforceable contract with the customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these goods or services; (ii) the contract has commercial substance; and (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for goods or services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intent to pay, which is based on a variety of factors, including the customer’s historical payment experience.

2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract

The Company enters into contracts that can include multiple performance obligations. The Company accounts for individual products and services separately if they are distinct – i.e., if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items in the contract and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer.

3) Determine the transaction price

The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer.

Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company determines its contracts generally to not include a significant financing component since the Company’s selling prices are not subjected to billing terms nor is its purpose to receive financing from its customers or to provide customers with financing. In addition, the Company uses the practical expedient and does not assess the existence of a significant financing component when the difference between payment and revenue recognition is a year or less.

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer, excluding taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer. The Company enters into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations.

4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation identified based on its relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) out of the total consideration of the contract.

The Company uses judgment in determining the SSP. If the SSP is not observable through standalone transactions, the Company estimates the SSP taking into account available information such as geographic or regional specific factors, internal costs, profit objectives, and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligation.

The Company typically establish SSP range for its products and services, which is reassessed on a periodic basis or when facts and circumstances change. SSP for products and services can evolve over time due to changes in Nice Ltd. pricing practices that are influenced by intense competition, changes in demand for products and services, and economic factors, among others.

For product where the SSP cannot be determined based on observable prices, given the same products are sold for a broad range of amounts (that is, the selling price is highly variable), the SSP included in a contract with multiple performance obligations is determined by applying a residual approach whereby all other performance obligations within a contract are first allocated a portion of the transaction price based upon their respective SSPs, with any residual amount of transaction price allocated to these product revenues.

NOTE 2:-  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

5) Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised product or service to the customer. Software license revenues are recognized at the point in time when the software license is delivered and the customer obtains control of the asset. Support and maintenance service revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the underlying maintenance contract term. Renewals of maintenance contracts create new performance obligations that are satisfied over the term with the revenues recognized ratably over the period of the renewal.

Professional services revenues are recognized as services are performed.

The Company derives its cloud revenues from subscription services, which are comprised of subscription fees from granting customers access to the Company’s cloud computing services and from network connectivity.

Revenue from subscription services is recognized either ratably over the contract period or based on usage, and revenue from network connectivity is based on customer call usage and is recognized in the period the call is initiated.

As of June 30, 2020, the aggregate amount of the total transaction price allocated in contracts with original duration greater than one year of the remaining performance obligations was approximately $1,050,394. As of June 30, 2020, the Company expects to recognize the majority of the revenue of remaining performance obligation over the next 24 months. Such remaining performance obligations represent unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations pursuant to ASC 606. The Company has elected the optional exemption, which allows for the exclusion of the amounts for remaining performance obligations that are part of contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.

Non-controlling interests

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included Nice’s accounts and the accounts of our wholly- and majority-owned subsidiaries. Noncontrolling interest positions of our consolidated entity are reported as a separate component of consolidated equity from the equity attributable to Nice’s shareholders for the six months period ended June 30, 2020.

Recently adopted accounting standards

On January 1, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, using the modified retrospective transition method. Upon adoption, we changed our impairment model to utilize a forward-looking current expected credit losses (CECL) model in place of the incurred loss methodology for financial instruments measured at amortized cost, including our accounts receivable. In addition, we modified our impairment model to the CECL model for available for sale (“AFS”) debt securities and discontinued using the concept of “other than temporary” impairment on AFS debt securities. CECL estimates on accounts receivable are recorded as general and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of income. CECL estimates on AFS debt securities are recognized in interest and other income (expense), net on our condensed consolidated statements of income. The cumulative effect adjustment from adoption was immaterial to our condensed consolidated financial statements. We continue to monitor the financial implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on expected credit losses.

NOTE 2:-  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies from our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, except for the policies noted below which changed as a result of the adoption of Topic 326.

 

   

Marketable Securities:

We hold investments in marketable securities, consisting of U.S. government securities, U.S. government agency securities, and investment grade corporate debt securities. As of June 30, 2020, the Company classifies its marketable securities as AFS investments in current assets because they represent investments of cash available for current operations.

The AFS investments are carried at estimated fair value with any unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity. AFS debt securities with an amortized cost basis in excess of estimated fair value are assessed to determine what amount of that difference, if any, is caused by expected credit losses. Expected credit losses on AFS debt securities are recognized in financial expenses and other, net on the condensed consolidated statements of income, and any remaining unrealized losses, net of taxes, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’’ equity.

There were no any impairment charge for unrealized losses in the periods presented. Realized gains or losses on sale of marketable securities are determined based on a specific identification method, and such gains or losses are recorded as financial expenses and other, net.

 

   

Accounts Receivable and Allowances:

Accounts receivable are recorded and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for any potential uncollectible amounts. The Company makes estimates of expected credit losses for the allowance for doubtful accounts and allowance for unbilled receivables based upon its assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of its customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect its ability to collect from customers. Estimated credit loss allowance is recorded as general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Recently issued accounting standards, not yet adopted:

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, which simplifies the guidance on the issuer’s accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt. Instead, they will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met. The elimination of these models will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for entities that have issued a convertible instrument that was within the scope of those models before the adoption of ASU 2020-06. ASU 2020-06 also requires that the effect of potential share settlement be included in the diluted EPS calculation when an instrument may be settled in cash or share. This amendment removes current guidance that allows an entity to rebut this presumption if it has a history or policy of cash settlement. Furthermore, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share, the treasury stock method will be no longer available. The provisions of ASU 2020-06 are applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3:-  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company applies ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”). Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company measures its investments in money market funds classified as cash equivalents, marketable securities and its foreign currency derivative contracts at fair value.

In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

 

   

Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

 

   

Level 2 - Valuations based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

   

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from investment to investment and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of investment, the liquidity of markets and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment and the investments are categorized as Level 3.

The Company’s marketable securities, exchangeable senior notes and foreign currency derivative contracts are classified within Level 2 (see Note 4, 5 and 6).

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, trade receivables and trade payables approximate their fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying amount of the loan approximates its fair value due to the fact that the loan bears a variable interest rate.

NOTE 5:-  DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s risk management strategy includes the use of derivative financial instruments to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”), requires the Company to recognize all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, an entity must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

Gains and losses on derivatives instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that are attributable to a particular risk), are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into in the same accounting period in which the designated forecasted transaction or hedged item affects earnings.

The Company entered into option and forward contracts to hedge a portion of anticipated New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”), Indian Rupee (“INR”) and Philippine peso (“PHP”) payroll and benefit payments as well as facilities related payments. These derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges, as defined by ASC 815 and accordingly are measured in fair value. These transactions are effective and, as a result, gain or loss on the derivative instruments are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified as payroll expenses, facility expenses or finance expenses, respectively, at the time that the hedged income/expense is recorded.

In the event that the last reported sale price of the company’s ADS for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the Exchange Price (“Share Price Condition”) or in the event of the satisfaction of certain other conditions, during set periods, as defined

in the indenture governing the Notes, the holders of the exchangeable Senior Notes will have the option to exchange the Notes for (i) cash, (ii) ADSs or (iii) a combination thereof, at the Company’s election.

As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Share Price Condition was triggered and accordingly, the net carrying amount of the Notes is presented in current liabilities.

The Company may provide additional ADSs upon conversion if there is a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” in the business as defined in the indenture governing the Notes. The Notes are not redeemable by the Company prior to the maturity date apart from certain cases as defined in the indenture governing the Notes.

Debt issuance costs of $5,791 attributable to the Notes are amortized as interest expense over the contractual term of the loan using the effective interest rate.

The carrying values of the liability and equity components of the Notes are reflected in the Company’s accompanying consolidated balance sheets as follows:

As of June 30, 2020, the estimated fair value of the Exchangeable Senior Notes, which the Company has classified as Level 2 financial instruments are $657,837. The estimated fair value was determined based on the quoted bid price of the Exchangeable Senior Notes in an over-the-counter market on the last trading day of the reporting period. As of June 30, 2020, the difference between the net carrying amount of the Exchangeable Senior Notes and estimated fair value represents the equity conversion value premium the market assigned to these Notes. Based on the closing price of the Company’s Ordinary Share on June 30, 2020, the if-converted value of the Exchangeable Senior Notes exceeded the principal amount.

Interest is payable on the debentures semi-annually at the cash coupon rate; however, the remaining debt discount is being amortized as additional non-cash interest expense using an effective annual interest rate equal to the Company’s estimated nonconvertible debt borrowing rate at the time of issuance.

Exchangeable notes hedge transactions

In connection with the pricing of the Notes, the Company has entered into privately negotiated exchangeable note hedge transactions with some of the initial purchasers and/or their respective affiliates (the “Option Counterparties”).

Subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Notes, the exchangeable note hedge transactions cover partial number of ADSs that will initially underline the Notes.

The note hedge transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the ADSs and/or cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount, in each case, upon any exchange of the Notes.

A portion of the call-options can be settled upon a surrender of the same amounts of Notes by a holder. Settlement can be done in cash, ADSs or a combination of both, at the Company’s election.

Concurrently with the Company’s entry into the exchangeable note hedge transactions, the Company has entered into warrant transactions with the Option Counterparties relating to the same number of ADSs (3,457,475), with a strike price of $101.82 per ADS, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

The warrants are exercisable for a period of three months as of the notes maturity date.

NOTE 7:- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time the Company or its subsidiaries may be involved in legal proceedings and/or litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe it will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Treasury shares:

On January 10, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $150,000 of Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares and ADRs. This share repurchase program commenced on April 7, 2017. On February 12, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an additional program to repurchase up to $200,000 of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares and ADRs, following completion of the program approved in 2017. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws and regulations. The timing and amount of the repurchase transactions will be determined by the Company’s management and may depend on a variety of factors including market conditions, alternative investment opportunities and other considerations.

These programs do not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of ordinary shares and ADRs and each program may be modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

 

  d.

Dividends:

On February 13, 2013, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had approved a dividend plan under which the Company paid quarterly cash dividends to holders of the Company’s ordinary shares and ADRs subject to declaration by its Board of Directors. Under Israeli law, dividends may be paid only out of profits and other surplus (as defined in the law) as of the Company’s most recent financial statements or as accrued over a period of two years, whichever is higher, provided that there is no reasonable concern that the dividend distribution will prevent the Company from meeting its existing and foreseeable obligations as they come due.

In 2019 and in the six month ended June 30, 2020 no dividend was declared.
