"We are pleased to end the year on a high note with strong overall financial results, which were driven by continued strength in cloud revenue," said Barak Eilam, CEO, NICE. "Our cloud revenue, which represented 38% of total revenues for the full-year 2019 compared to 32% for 2018, is being powered by the ongoing rapid adoption in all market segments of our CXone cloud platform. In 2019, we also maintained a sharp focus on operational efficiency demonstrated by continued strong growth in the operating margin and bottom line earnings per share."
Mr. Eilam continued, "2019 was a pivotal year as it marked the end point of our NICE 2020 plan. We far exceeded the goals we set for ourselves at the onset of NICE 2020, and the success we had is paving the way for NICE 2025. Over the next several years, we will continue to witness rapid changes in our markets, including cloud becoming the default choice for enterprises of all sizes globally, digital engagements growing exponentially and virtually every process being powered by AI and analytics. We are in the driver's seat and in a very strong competitive position to capitalize on these changes taking place with the three most robust platforms in our markets – CXone for Customer Experience, X-Sight for Financial Crime and Compliance and NICE Investigate for Public Safety."
NICE Investor Day
NICE will be hosting its Investor Day on May 12th in conjunction with its Interactions annual user conference in Las Vegas. The special program for analysts and investors will include meetings with NICE executives, presentations from customers, product and technology sessions, and access to the solutions showcase.

Share Repurchase Program
The Company announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a new program to repurchase up to \$200 million of its issued and outstanding ordinary shares and ADRs. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and will be in accordance with applicable securities laws and regulations. The timing and amount of the repurchase transactions will be determined by management and may depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, alternative investment opportunities and other considerations. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of ordinary shares and ADRs and the program may be modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice. This new program is in addition to the repurchase program previously authorized by the Company's Board of Directors announced in January 2017, in which approximately \$60 miilion remains available for repurchases.

Non-GAAP financial measures are included in this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition related expenses, amortization of discount on long term debt and the tax effect of the Non-GAAP adjustments. Business combination accounting rules require the recognition of a legal performance obligation related to a revenue arrangement of an acquired entity as a liability. The amount assigned to such liability should be based on its fair value at the date of acquisition. The Non-GAAP adjustment for a revenue arrangement is intended to reflect the full amount of such revenue. The Company believes that these Non-GAAP financial measures, used in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business. We believe Non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of our business. Our management regularly uses our supplemental Non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and to make financial, strategic and operating decisions. These Non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. 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. 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. The Company provides guidance only on a Non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of guidance from a GAAP to Non-GAAP basis is not available due to the unpredictability and uncertainty associated with future events that would be reported in GAAP results and would require adjustments between GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures, including the impact of future possible business acquisitions. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the guidance based on Non-GAAP financial measures to corresponding GAAP financial measures for future periods is not available without unreasonable effort.
