"We are pleased to end the year on a high note as 2018 was a year marked by robust growth and record results," said Barak Eilam, CEO of NICE. "For the full-year 2018, we reported strong growth in cloud revenue and operating income, an increase in recurring revenue, further growth in the operating margin and a record year for cash flow generation."
Mr. Eilam continued, "We are stepping into 2019 with great momentum across all of our businesses fueled by our two market differentiating platforms - CXone for Customer Engagement and X-Sight for Financial Crime and Compliance. Our assets, investments and market leadership in cloud, analytics and artificial intelligence are driving us forward and providing tremendous future opportunities.
"As we look ahead to the next five years, our strong leadership position will allow us to quickly expand into a total addressable market of over \$12 billion from \$7 billion today, providing us the opportunity to far exceed the \$2 billion revenue mark, to see the majority of our revenue come from the cloud and to have a greater than 30% operating margin."
NICE will be hosting its Investor Day on April 16th in conjunction with its Interactions annual user conference in Las Vegas.

Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude: amortization of acquired intangible assets, share-based compensation, certain business combination accounting entries, amortization of discount on long term debt, re-organization expenses, tax adjustment re non-GAAP adjustments and tax reform and ASC 606 to ASC 605 adjustments. The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of our performance exclusive of noncash charges and other items that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results. 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. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Business combination accounting rules requires us to recognize a legal performance obligation related to a revenue arrangement of an acquired entity. The amount assigned to that liability should be based on its fair value at the date of acquisition. The non-GAAP adjustment is intended to reflect the full amount of such revenue. We believe this adjustment is useful to investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of our business. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide consistent and comparable measures to help investors understand our current and future operating cash flow performance. 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.
