"We are pleased with the strong start to the year as evidenced by the double-digit growth in total revenue, along with a 32% increase in cloud revenue," said Barak Eilam, CEO of NICE. "Moreover, we continue to capture high quality cloud revenue as demonstrated by the continued increase in our cloud profitability."

Mr. Eilam continued, "Our strong performance in the cloud is being driven by CXone. What was once a vision for CXone has become a reality with an increasing number of customers in all market segments adopting our cloud platform. This includes a growing number of large enterprises where we are seeing implementations of well over 1,000 seats and total contract values in the seven and eight digit ranges. We owe the success of CXone to its true, native cloud infrastructure, its scalability and its elasticity, as well as, to a growing number of ecosystem partners embracing our cloud strategy.

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, 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.
