NICE Systems Announces Strong Results for First Quarter 2007

Ra`anana, Israel, May 09, 2007 - NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE) , the global provider of advanced solutions that enable organizations to extract Insight from Interactions(TM) to drive performance, today announced results for the first quarter of 2007.

Non-GAAP highlights for the quarter (year over year):

● 33% increase in revenue Created Using Viltech Software

● 90% increase in operating income Created Using Viltech Software

● 48% increase in earnings per fully diluted shares Created Using Viltech Software

First quarter 2007 non-GAAP revenue was $117.0 million, representing a 33.1% increase from $87.9 million in the first quarter of 2006.

Non-GAAP gross margin in the first quarter was 62.4%, or $73.0 million gross profit, up from 55.7%, or $48.9 million respectively, in the first quarter of 2006.

Non-GAAP operating margin in the first quarter was 15.0%, or $17.6 million operating profit, compared with 10.5%, or $9.3 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2006.

First quarter 2007 non-GAAP net income was $16.6 million, a 54.0% increase from $10.8 million in the first quarter of 2006. Non-GAAP earnings per fully diluted share were $0.31, up from $0.21 in the first quarter of 2006.

On a GAAP basis: First quarter 2007 revenue was $115.9 million, an increase from $87.9 million in the first quarter of 2006. First quarter 2007 gross margin was 59.2%, compared with 54.3% in the first quarter of 2006; operating profit was $7.2 million, compared with operating profit of $5.3 million, in the first quarter of 2006; and first quarter 2007 net income was $8.7 million, or $0.16 per fully diluted share, compared with net income of $7.1 million, or $0.14 per share, on a fully diluted basis, for the first quarter of 2006.

First quarter 2007 operating cash flow was a record $33.9 million. Total cash and equivalents as of March 31, 2007 were $335.2 million, with no debt, compared with $296.1 million as of December 31, 2006.

"First quarter 2007 results came in at the high-end of our guidance range, following the strong momentum we saw in 2006," said Haim Shani, Chief Executive Officer of NICE. "As we continue to leverage the secular growth trends in the enterprise and security markets, and after having successfully integrated five companies into NICE over the past two years, we are well positioned to further drive our company forward through organic and acquisitive growth."

Guidance for the second quarter 2007 is for non-GAAP revenue to be between $121 - $126 million, and non-GAAP earnings per fully diluted share in the range of $0.32 - $0.36. Previously announced guidance for the year 2007 is reaffirmed, with non-GAAP revenue to be between $487 - 502 million and non-GAAP earnings per fully diluted share in the range of $1.36 - 1.46.

Non-GAAP

Non-GAAP results exclude the fair value adjustment on acquired deferred revenues of $ 0.8 million net of taxes, and the amortization of acquired intangible assets of $3.5 million, net of taxes in the first quarter 2007 and stock based compensation expenses of $3.6 million, net of taxes for the first quarter 2007. Reconciliation between the results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Consolidated Statement of Operations (Non-GAAP Basis).

Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude: amortization of acquired intangible assets, in−process research and development write−off, stock based compensation expenses, as well as certain business combination accounting entries. 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 assigns 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 Statement of Operations.
