Third Quarter 2018 Financial Highlights

The GAAP column of the table contains the financial highlights of the third quarter 2018 under ASC 606 with the comparison period under ASC 605. The non-GAAP column of the table contains the financial highlights of the third quarter 2018 under ASC 605 with the comparison period under ASC 605.

"The results reported for the third quarter of 2018 reflect our continued focus on driving excellent execution around our strategic pillars of cloud, analytics and artificial intelligence that led to strong growth on both the top and bottom lines. As we look forward to ending the year on a high note, we now expect to exit 2018 with a cloud revenue run rate of \$550 million up from our previous expectation of \$500 million, while continuing to drive profitability," said Barak Eilam, CEO of NICE.

Mr. Eilam continued, "CXone, our open cloud platform which has gained tremendous market presence among our customers and high regard from industry analysts in just a little over one year since it was introduced, has been our vehicle to deliver our strategic pillars to the customer engagement market. We are now proceeding on a similar course with X-Sight, which was announced just a few weeks ago. X-Sight is the industry's first financial crime and compliance platform-as-a-service that combines advanced analytics and AI, automated data management, and robotics all delivered through the cloud.

"It is clearly evident that the platform strategy embodies the present and future for NICE. With X-Sight and CXone, we now have two significant, market leading, open, cloud platforms to help further penetrate our large and growing addressable market."

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, ASC 606 to ASC 605 adjustments 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.
