BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Verint”, “we”, “us”, and “our” in these notes to condensed consolidated financial statements refer to Verint Systems Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Verint is a leader in customer experience (“CX”) automation. The world’s most iconic brands – including more than 80 of the Fortune 100 companies – use the Verint Open Platform and our team of AI-powered bots to deliver tangible AI business outcomes across the enterprise.

Verint is uniquely positioned to help brands increase CX automation with our differentiated AI-powered Open Platform. Brands today are challenged to delight their customers while facing limited budgets and resources. As a result, organizations are turning to AI-powered platforms specifically designed for the customer engagement domain to increase the level of their CX automation rather than hire additional employees.

Verint is headquartered in Melville, New York, and has approximately 15 offices worldwide, in addition to a number of on-demand, flexible coworking spaces. We have approximately 3,700 employees plus a few hundred contractors around the globe focused on helping brands increase CX automation.

Apax Convertible Preferred Stock Investment

On December 4, 2019, we announced that an affiliate (the “Apax Investor”) of Apax Partners (“Apax”) would make an investment in us in an amount of up to $400.0 million. Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, dated as of December 4, 2019 (the “Investment Agreement”), on May 7, 2020, the Apax Investor purchased $200.0 million of our Series A convertible preferred stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”). On February 1, 2021, we completed the spin-off (the “Spin-Off”) of Cognyte Software Ltd. (“Cognyte”), a company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel whose business and operations consist of our former Cyber Intelligence Solutions business. In connection with the completion of the Spin-Off, on April 6, 2021, the Apax Investor purchased $200.0 million of our Series B convertible preferred stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock” and together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”). As of April 30, 2024, Apax’s ownership in us on an as-converted basis was approximately 13.5%. Please refer to Note 9, “Convertible Preferred Stock” for a more detailed discussion of the Apax investment.

Preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2024 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the periods ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, and the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2024, are not audited but reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are of a normal recurring nature and that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2024 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2024. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Because the condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for a complete set of financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2024 filed with the SEC. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year’s results.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Verint Systems Inc., and our wholly owned or otherwise controlled subsidiaries. Noncontrolling interests in less than wholly owned subsidiaries are reflected within stockholders’ equity on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, but separately from our stockholders’ equity.

Equity investments in companies in which we have less than a 20% ownership interest and cannot exercise significant influence, and which do not have readily determinable fair values, are accounted for at cost, adjusted for changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer, less any impairment.

We include the results of operations of acquired companies from the date of acquisition. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions, which may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Key estimates in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include, among others, revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, determining the fair value of assets and liabilities assumed in business combinations, recoverability of goodwill, amortization of intangibles, evaluation of contingencies, and the accounting for income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies during the three months ended April 30, 2024, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2024.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no recently adopted accounting pronouncements since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2024 that may have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which will require public companies to report incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis, including enhanced disclosures of significant segment expenses included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. ASU No. 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments should be applied retrospectively. We plan to adopt ASU No. 2023-07 effective for the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending January 31, 2025 and subsequent interim periods, and are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which will require greater disaggregation of a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as income taxes paid. ASU No. 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statement disclosures.
