"Our financial performance over the past few years has been highlighted by consistent growth and improvement in profitability, and Q2 added to that momentum with another strong result on both the top and bottom lines. We were also pleased to see significant growth in cloud revenue along with an increase in profitability. Furthermore, our solid execution translated to over 200 million dollars in net cash flow from operations for the first half of 2017," said Barak Eilam, CEO of NICE. "The foundation of our strength has been our ability to fully execute on the strategic plans we put in place during this period.

"These strategic plans have led to the development of our four strategic pillars of cloud, omni-channel, analytics and artificial intelligence, which are the underpinning of our growth opportunities going forward. These four pillars are also the basis for our new CXone platform, which represents a giant leap forward for NICE and our industry. CXone, which is a unified, true open cloud foundation, along with a developing ecosystem of customers and partners to build and develop world class customer experience solutions, represents a substantial competitive differentiation for NICE, and exemplifies our expanding market leadership."

Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude: amortization of acquired intangible assets, re-organization expenses, share-based compensation, and certain business combination accounting entries, amortization of discount on long term debt and tax adjustment re non-GAAP adjustments. The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of our performance exclusive of non-cash 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.
