The condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss) income,, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the periods ended OctoberJuly 31, 20172023 and 2016,2022, and the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of OctoberJuly 31, 2017,2023, are not audited but reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are of a normal recurring nature and that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 20172023 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2017.2023.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Verint Systems Inc., and our wholly owned or otherwise controlled subsidiaries, and a joint venture in which we hold a 50% equity interest.  The joint venture is a variable interest entity in which we are the primary beneficiary.subsidiaries. Noncontrolling interests in less than wholly owned subsidiaries are reflected within stockholders’ equity on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, but separately from our stockholders'stockholders’ equity. We hold

Equity investments in companies in which we have less than a 20% ownership interest and cannot exercise significant influence, and which do not have readily determinable fair values, are accounted for at cost, adjusted for changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an option to acquire the noncontrolling interests in two majority owned subsidiaries and we account for the option as

We include the results of operations of acquired companies from the date of acquisition. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.

Investments in companies in which we have less than a 20% ownership interest and cannot exercise significant influence are accounted for at cost.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions, which may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable, net, includes unbilled accounts receivable on arrangements recognized under contract accounting methods, representing revenue recognized on contracts for which billing will occur in subsequent periods, in accordance with the terms of the contracts. Unbilled accounts receivable on such contracts were $60.5 million and $39.7 million at October 31, 2017 and January 31, 2017, respectively.

Under most contracts, unbilled accounts receivable are typically billed and collected within one year of revenue recognition. However, as of October 31, 2017, we have unbilled accounts receivable on certain complex projects for which the underlying billing milestones are still in progress and have remained unbilled for periods in excess of one year, and in some cases, for several years. Unbilled accounts receivable on these projects have declined significantly over the past year. We have no history of uncollectible accounts on such projects and believe that collection of all unbilled amounts is reasonably assured. We expect billing and collection of all unbilled accounts receivable to occur within the next twelve months.

New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In March 2016,October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"(the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU"(“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 718)805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, whichamends adds contract assets and contract liabilities to the accounting for stock-based compensationlist of exceptions to the recognition and measurement principles that apply to business combinations and requires excess tax benefitsthat an acquirer recognize and deficiencies to be recognized as a component of income tax expense rather than stockholders' equity. This guidance also requires excess tax benefits to be presented as an operating activity on the consolidated statements of cash flowsmeasure contract assets and allows an entity to make an accounting policy election to either estimate expected forfeitures or to account for them as they occur. ASU No. 2016-09 was effective for us on February 1, 2017. The adoption did not resultcontract liabilities acquired in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, andbusiness combination in accordance with the new guidance, we recorded certain tax effects from stock-based compensation awards as components of the benefit for income taxesrevenue recognition guidance. We adopted this standard on a prospective basis for the threeannual and nine months ended October 31, 2017, whereas such tax effects were previously recognized in stockholders’ equity.  These tax effects wereinterim periods beginning February 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not material for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2017. Our accounting for forfeitures of stock-based compensation awards has not changed because we have elected to continue our current policy of estimating expected forfeitures. The effects of adopting the other provisions of ASU No. 2016-09 were not material toany impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.statements as the ultimate impact is dependent on the size and frequency of future acquisitions and does not affect contract assets or contract liabilities related to acquisitions completed prior to the adoption date.


In October 2016,August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (the "IRA") was signed into law. The IRA establishes a new book minimum tax of 15% on consolidated adjusted GAAP pre-tax earnings for corporations with average income in excess of $1 billion and is effective for us in tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. We do not expect to be subject to the corporate minimum tax. In addition, the IRA also introduced a nondeductible 1% excise tax on the fair market value of stock repurchases made by covered corporations after December 31, 2022. The total taxable value of shares repurchased is reduced by the fair market value of any newly issued shares during the taxable year. During the six months ended July 31, 2023, the calculated excise tax was $0.4 million and was recognized as part of the cost basis of shares acquired in our consolidated statement of stockholders' equity. We do not expect taxes due on future repurchases of our shares to have a material effect on our business.

In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 740)848): Intra-Entity TransfersDeferral of Assets Other Than Inventorythe Sunset Date of Topic 848, which requiresextends the period of time entities to recognizecan utilize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective


In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Targeted ImprovementsThere are no new accounting pronouncements not yet adopted or effective that are expected to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This update better aligns risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships, simplifies hedge accounting requirements, and improves disclosures of hedging arrangements. ASU No. 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently reviewing this standard to assess the impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, and ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU No. 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. While we are still assessing the impact of this standard, we do not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.statements and related disclosures.


ASU No. 2017-04 eliminates Step 2
2.    REVENUE RECOGNITION

We derive our revenue primarily from providing customers the right to access our cloud-based solutions, the right to use our software for an indefinite or specified period of time, and related services and support based on when access or control of the goodwill impairment test and requires a goodwill impairmentsoftware passes to be measured asour customers or the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of its goodwill. The ASU is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.  While weservices are still assessing the impact of this standard, we do not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. This update requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This update also requires an entity to disclose the nature of restrictions on its cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. ASU No. 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We typically have restrictions on certain amounts of cash and cash equivalents, primarily consisting of amounts used to secure bank guarantees in connection with sales contract performance obligations, and expect to continue to have similar restrictions in the future. We currently report changes in such restricted amounts as cash flows from investing activities on our consolidated statement of cash flows. This standard will change that presentation. We are currently reviewing this standard to assess other potential impacts on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which provides guidance with the intent of reducing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We are currently reviewing this standard to assess the impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). This new standard changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. Entities will be required to use a model that will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses for trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans, and other instruments. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, the losses will be recognized as allowances rather than as reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. The new standard is effective for annual periods, and for interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently reviewing this standard to assess the impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which will require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP, which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance

sheet, the new guidance will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet.  The new guidance is effective for all periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and we are currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements, but anticipate that the new guidance will significantly impact our condensed consolidated financial statements given our significant number of leases.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU No. 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Accounting Standards Codification. Additionally, this update supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customersprovided, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expectswe expect to be entitled to in exchange for thosesuch goods or services. As originally issued, this guidance was effectiveRevenue is reported net of applicable sales and use tax, value-added tax and other transaction taxes imposed on the related transactions, including mandatory government charges that are passed through to our customers.

We determine revenue recognition through the following five steps:

•Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer
•Identification of the performance obligations in the contract
•Determination of the transaction price
•Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
•Recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied

We account for interima contract when it has approval and annual reportingcommitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table provides a disaggregation of our recurring and nonrecurring revenue. Recurring revenue is the portion of our revenue that we believe is likely to be renewed in the future. The recurrence of these revenue streams in future periods beginning after December 15, 2016,depends on a number of factors including contractual periods and early adoption was not permitted. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date by one year,customers' renewal decisions.

•Recurring revenue primarily consists of:
◦Software as a service (“SaaS”) revenue, which consists predominately of bundled SaaS (software access rights with standard managed services) and unbundled SaaS (software licensing rights accounted for as term-based licenses whereby customers have a license to interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoptionour software with related support for a specific period).
▪Bundled SaaS revenue is permitted, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The standard allows entities to apply the standard retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (“full retrospective adoption”) or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standardrecognized over time.
▪Unbundled SaaS revenue is recognized at a point in time, except for the daterelated support which is recognized over time. Unbundled SaaS contracts are eligible for renewal after the initial fixed term, which in most cases is between a one- and three-year time frame. Unbundled SaaS can be deployed in the cloud, either by us or a cloud partner.
◦Optional managed services revenue.
◦Support revenue, which consists of initial application (“modified retrospective adoption”). We currently expect to adopt ASU No. 2014-09 using the modified retrospective option.and renewal support.

•Nonrecurring revenue primarily consists of our perpetual licenses, hardware, installation services, business advisory consulting and training services, and patent license royalties.

Long-term contract liabilities$12,327 $18,047 

We are continuing to review the impacts of adopting ASU No. 2014-09 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Basedreceive payments from customers based upon our preliminary assessments, we currently do not expect the new standard to materially impact the amount or timing of the majority of revenue recognized in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We are still assessing the impact on the timing of revenue recognized under certain contracts under which customized solutions are delivered over extended periods of time.

In addition, the timing of cost of revenue recognition for certain customer contracts requiring significant customization will change, because unlike current guidance, the new guidance precludes the deferral of costs simply to obtain an even profit margin over the contract term. We are also assessing the new standard’s requirement to capitalize costs associated with obtaining customer contracts, including commission payments, which are currently expensed as incurred. Under the new standard, these costs will be deferred on our consolidated balance sheet. We are evaluating the period over which to amortize these capitalized costs. In addition, for sales transactions that have been billed, but for which the recognition of revenue has been deferredcontractual billing schedules, and the related account receivable has not been collected, we currently do not recognize deferred revenue or the related accounts receivable on our consolidated balance sheet. Under the new standard, we will record accounts receivable and related contract liabilities for noncancelable contracts with customersare recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract assets are rights to consideration in exchange for goods or services that we have transferred to a customer when that right is unconditional, which we currentlyconditional on something other than the passage of time. The majority of our contract assets represent unbilled amounts related to multi-year unbundled SaaS contracts and arrangements where our right to consideration is subject to the contractually agreed upon billing schedule. We expect will resultbilling and collection of a majority of our contract assets to occur within the next twelve months and asset impairment charges related to contract assets were immaterial in increases inthe six months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022. As of July 31, 2023, two partners, both authorized global resellers of our solutions, accounted for more than 10% of our aggregated accounts receivable and contract assets; Partner A was approximately 16% and Partner B was approximately 15%. As of January 31, 2023, Partner A and Partner B each accounted for approximately 15% of our aggregated accounts receivable and contract assets. Credit losses relating to these customers have historically been immaterial.

Contract liabilities (currently presented as deferred revenue) on our consolidated balance sheet, comparedrepresent consideration received or consideration which is unconditionally due from customers prior to our current presentation. Our preliminary assessmentstransferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of the impactscontract. Revenue recognized during the six months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022 from amounts included in contract liabilities at the beginning of each period was $174.9 million and $170.5 million, respectively.

RemainingPerformanceObligations

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes contract liabilities and non-cancelable amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. The majority of our condensed consolidated financial statementsarrangements are for periods of adopting this new standard are subjectup to change.three years, with a significant portion being one year or less.



We elected to exclude amounts of variable consideration attributable to sales- or usage-based royalties in exchange for a license of our IP from the remaining performance obligations. The timing and amount of revenue recognition for our remaining performance obligations is influenced by several factors, including seasonality, the timing of renewals, the timing of delivery of software licenses, the average length of the contract terms, and foreign currency exchange rates.

Year Ended January 31, 2017

Contact Solutions, LLC

On February 19, 2016, we completed the acquisition of Contact Solutions, LLC ("Contact Solutions"), a provider of real-time, contextual self-service solutions, based in Reston, Virginia. The purchase price consisted of $66.9combined consideration for these business combinations was approximately $38.4 million, including $26.1 million of combined cash paid at closing,the closings, contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $12.2 million, and a $2.5 million post-closing purchase price adjustment basedadjustments of $0.1 million. The combined consideration was partially offset by $4.2 million of combined cash received in the acquisitions. The contingent consideration had a maximum payout amount of approximately $21.4 million as of the respective acquisition dates, and is contingent upon a determinationthe achievement of Contact Solutions' acquisition-date working capital, which was paid during the three months ended July 31, 2016. The cashcertain performance targets over periods extending through January 2026. Cash paid for this acquisitionthese business combinations was funded withby cash on hand.

In connection with the purchase price allocation for Contact Solutions, the estimated fair value of undelivered performance obligations under customer contracts assumed in the acquisition was determined utilizing a cost build-up approach. The cost build-up approach calculates fair value by estimating the costs required to fulfill the obligations plus a reasonable profit margin, which approximates the amount that we believe would be required to pay a third party to assume the performance obligations. The estimated costs to fulfill the performance obligations were based on the historical direct costs for delivering similar services. As a result, in allocating the purchase price, we recorded $0.6 million of current and long-term deferred revenue, representing the estimated fair value of undelivered performance obligations for which payment had been received, which will be recognized as revenue as the underlying performance obligations are delivered. For undelivered performance obligations for which payment had not yet been received, we recorded a $2.9 million asset as a component of the purchase price allocation, representing the estimated fair value of these obligations, $1.2 million of which was included within prepaid expenses and other current assets, and $1.7 million of which was included in other assets. We are amortizing this asset over the underlying delivery periods, which adjusts the revenue we recognize for providing these services to its estimated fair value.

OpinionLab, Inc.

On November 16, 2016, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Chicago, Illinois-based OpinionLab, Inc. ("OpinionLab"), a leading SaaS provider of omnichannel Voice of Customer (“VoC”) feedback solutions which help organizations collect, understand,Revenue and leverage customer insights, helping drive smarter, real-time business action.

The purchase price consisted of $56.4 million of cash paid at the closing, funded from cash on hand, partially offset by $6.4 million of OpinionLab's cash received in the acquisition, resulting in net cash consideration at closing of $50.0 million, and we agreedincome (loss) attributable to pay potential additional future cash consideration of up to $28.0 million, contingent upon the achievement of certain performance targets over the period from closing through January 31, 2021, the acquisition date fair value of which was estimated to be $15.0 million. The acquired business has been integrated into our Customer Engagement operating segment.

The purchase price for OpinionLab was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition dates, with the remaining unallocated purchase price recorded as goodwill. The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired were determined primarily by using the income approach, which discounts expected future cash flows to present value using estimates and assumptions determined by management.

Among the factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill as a component of the OpinionLab purchase price allocation were synergies in products and technologies, and the addition of a skilled, assembled workforce. This goodwill has been assigned to our Customer Engagement segment and is not deductible for income tax purposes.

In connection with the purchase price allocation for OpinionLab, the estimated fair value of undelivered performance obligations under customer contracts assumed in the acquisition was determined utilizing a cost build-up approach. The cost build-up approach calculates fair value by estimating the costs required to fulfill the obligations plus a reasonable profit margin, which approximates the amount that we believe would be required to pay a third party to assume the performance obligations. The estimated costs to fulfill the performance obligations were based on the historical direct costs for delivering similar services. As a result, in allocating the purchase price, we recorded $3.1 million of current and long-term deferred revenue, representing the estimated fair value of undelivered performance obligations for which payment had been received, which will be recognized as revenue as the underlying performance obligations are delivered. For undelivered performance obligations for which payment had not yet been received, we recorded a $5.4 million asset as a component of the purchase price allocation, representing the estimated fair value of these obligations, $3.4 million of which was included within prepaid expenses and other current assets, and $2.0 million of which was included in other assets. We are amortizing this asset over the underlying delivery periods, which adjusts the revenue we recognize for providing these services to its estimated fair value.


Transaction and related costs directly related to the acquisition of OpinionLab, consisting primarily of professional fees and integration expenses, were $0.3 million and $0.8 millionacquisitions for the three and ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2017, respectively and $0.4 million in each of the three and nine months ended October 31, 2016. These costs were expensed as incurred within selling, general and administrative expenses.
The following table sets forth the components and the allocations of the purchase prices for our acquisitions of Contact Solutions and OpinionLab.

For the acquisition of Contact Solutions, the acquired customer relationships, developed technology, and trademarks and trade names were assigned estimated useful lives of ten years, four years, and five years, respectively, the weighted average of which is approximately 7.3 years.

For the acquisition of OpinionLab, the acquired customer relationships, developed technology, and trademarks and trade names were assigned estimated useful lives of ten years, six years, and four years, respectively, the weighted average of which is approximately 8.3 years.

The weighted-average estimated useful life of all finite-lived identifiable intangible assets acquired during the year ended January 31, 2017 is 7.8 years.

The acquired identifiable intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which we believe approximates the pattern in which the assets are utilized, over their estimated useful lives.

Other Business Combination Information



At October 31, 2017, restricted cash and bank time deposits includes approximately $35.0 million held in an escrow account in connection with an immaterial business combination that closed in November 2017.

The acquisition date fair values of contingent consideration obligations associated with business combinations are estimated based on probability adjusted present values of the consideration expected to be transferred using significant inputs that are not observable in the market. Key assumptions used in these estimates include probability assessments with respect to the likelihood of achieving the performance targets and discount rates consistent with the level of risk of achievement. At each reporting date, we revalue the contingent consideration obligations to their fair values and record increases and decreases in fair value within selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations result from changes in discount periods and rates, and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the performance targets.

Asset Acquisition

13
In July 2023, we entered into an agreement to acquire source code that qualifies as an asset acquisition and made an initial deposit payment of $1.0 million upon the execution of the contract and incurred direct transaction costs related to such asset acquisition of $0.2 million. The purchase deposit payment and direct transaction costs were nocapitalized as other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of July 31, 2023. The acquisition agreement stipulates the establishment of additional milestone payments totaling $3.0 million. These milestone payments are contingent upon the successful delivery of the source code and the attainment of specific developmental objectives within the upcoming twelve months and will be reduced by any amounts paid under a separate transition services agreement, which the parties have also entered into. During August 2023, $2.0 million of these milestone payments was paid into a third-party escrow account in accordance with the transaction agreement, and $1.0 million was paid to the seller upon satisfaction of the source code delivery milestone.

The transaction also provides for additional consideration contingent upon achieving certain performance targets for the years ending January 31, 2025 and 2026 of up to $5.0 million, with a minimum of $2.0 million guaranteed over the period, plus the opportunity to receive additional payments from us based on any revenue we receive from sales of products based on the acquired technology in adjacent markets. Contingent consideration is not recorded in an asset acquisition until the contingency is resolved (when the contingent consideration is paid or becomes payable) or when probable and reasonably estimable.

Divestiture

In March 2023, we completed the sale of an insignificant product line that we inherited as part of a legacy acquisition and did not fit with our current business priorities or strategic direction. The total consideration for the sale was $0.7 million, which is payable to us in three equal installments through March 2025, the three months ended October 31, 2016.first installment of which was received in July 2023. The transaction reduced goodwill by $0.3 million and intangible assets by $0.2 million and resulted in a gain of approximately $0.2 million, which was recorded within other (expense) income, net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

1.50% Convertible Senior2021 Notes


On June 18, 2014,April 9, 2021, we issued $400.0$315.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.50%0.25% convertible senior notes due June 1, 2021 ("Notes"April 15, 2026 (the “2021 Notes”), unless earlier converted by the holders pursuant to their terms. Net proceeds from theThe 2021 Notes after underwriting discounts were $391.9 million. The Notesare unsecured and pay interest in cash semiannually in arrears at a rate of 1.50%0.25% per annum.


We used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2021 Notes to pay the costs of the Capped Calls described below. We also used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2021 Notes, together with the net proceeds from the April 6, 2021 issuance of $200.0 million of Series B Preferred Stock, to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under
15
our Credit Agreement described below, to terminate an interest rate swap, and to repurchase shares of our common stock. The remainder is being used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The 2021 Notes were issued concurrently with our public issuance of 5,750,000 shares of common stock, the majority of the
combined net proceeds of which were used to partially repay certain indebtedness under our Prior Credit Agreement, as further
described below.

The Notes are unsecured and are convertible into at our election, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of both, subject to satisfaction of specified conditions and during specified periods. If converted, we currently intend to pay cash in respect of the principal amount of the Notes.

The Notes have aat an initial conversion rate of 15.512916.1092 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2021 Notes, which represents an effectiveinitial conversion price of approximately $64.46$62.08 per share, of common stock and would result in the issuance of approximately 6,205,000 shares if all of the Notes were converted. The conversion rate has not changed since issuance of the Notes, although throughout the term of the Notes, the conversion rate may be adjustedsubject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.
On or after December 1, 2020events, and subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. Prior to January 15, 2026, the 2021 Notes will be convertible only upon the occurrence of certain events and during certain periods, and will be convertible thereafter at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date holders may surrender their Notes for conversion regardless of whether any of the other specified conditions for2021 Notes. Upon conversion have been satisfied.

of the 2021 Notes, holders will receive cash up to the aggregate principal amount, with any remainder to be settled with cash or common stock, or a combination thereof, at our election. As of OctoberJuly 31, 2017,2023, the 2021 Notes were not convertible.


In accordanceWe incurred approximately $8.9 million of issuance costs in connection with accounting guidance for convertible debt withthe 2021 Notes, which were deferred and are presented as a cash conversion option, we separately accounted for thereduction of long-term debt, and equity components of the Notes in a manner that reflected our estimated nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. We estimated the debt and equity components of the Notes to be $319.9 million and $80.1 million, respectively, at the issuance date, assuming a 5.00% non-convertible borrowing rate. The equity component was recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital. The excess of the principal amount of the debt component over its carrying amount (the "debt discount") is being amortized as interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

Issuance costs attributable to the debt component of the Notes were netted against long-term debt andwhich are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the Notes, and issuance costs attributable to the equity component were netted with the equity component in additional paid-in capital. The carrying amount of the equity component, net of issuance costs, was $78.2 million at October 31, 2017.

As of October 31, 2017, the carrying value of the debt component was $350.8 million, which is net of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs of $44.9 million and $4.3 million, respectively.2021 Notes. Including the impact of the debt discount and related deferred debt issuance costs, the effective interest rate on the 2021 Notes was approximately 5.29%0.83% at OctoberJuly 31, 2017.2023.



Based on the closing market price of our common stock on OctoberJuly 31, 2017,2023, the if-converted value of the 2021 Notes was less than thetheir aggregate principal amount of the Notes.amount.


Note Hedges and WarrantsCapped Calls


ConcurrentlyIn connection with the issuance of the 2021 Notes, on April 6, 2021 and April 8, 2021, we entered into convertible note hedgecapped call transactions (the "Note Hedges"“Capped Calls”) and sold warrants (the "Warrants").with certain counterparties. The combination ofCapped Calls are generally intended to reduce the Note Hedges and the Warrants servespotential dilution to increase the effective initial conversion price for the Notes to $75.00 per share. The Note Hedges and Warrants are each separate instruments from the Notes.

Note Hedges

Pursuant to the Note Hedges, we purchased call options on our common stock under whichupon any conversion of the 2021 Notes and/or offset any cash payments we haveare required to make in excess of the right to acquire fromprincipal amount of converted 2021 Notes, in the counterparties up to approximately 6,205,000 sharesevent that at the time of conversion our common stock price exceeds the conversion price, with such reduction and/or offset subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, at a cap.

The Capped Calls exercise price of $64.46, which equalsis equal to the $62.08 initial conversion price of each of the Notes.2021 Notes, and the cap price is $100.00, each subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Calls. Our exercise rights under the Note HedgesCapped Calls generally trigger upon conversion of the 2021 Notes, and the Note HedgesCapped Calls terminate upon maturity of the 2021 Notes, or the first day the 2021 Notes are no longer outstanding. The Note Hedges may be settled in cash, sharesAs of our common stock, or a combination thereof, at our option,July 31, 2023, no Capped Calls have been exercised.

Pursuant to their terms, the Capped Calls qualify for classification within stockholders’ equity, and are intendedtheir fair value is not remeasured and adjusted as long as they continue to reduce our exposure to potential dilution upon conversion of the Notes.qualify for stockholders’ equity classification. We paid $60.8approximately $41.1 million for the Note Hedges,Capped Calls, including applicable transaction costs, which was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. As of October 31, 2017, we had not purchased any shares of our common stock under the Note Hedges.


Warrants

We sold the Warrants to several counterparties. The Warrants provide the counterparties rights to acquire from us up to approximately 6,205,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $75.00 per share. The Warrants expire incrementally on a series of expiration dates beginning in August 2021. At expiration, if the market price per share of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the Warrants, we will be obligated to issue shares of our common stock having a value equal to such excess. The Warrants could have a dilutive effect on net income per share to the extent that the market value of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the Warrants. Proceeds from the sale of the Warrants were $45.2 million and were recorded as additional paid-in capital. As of October 31, 2017, no Warrants had been exercised and all Warrants remained outstanding.

The Note Hedges and Warrants both meet the requirements for classification within stockholders’ equity, and their respective fair values are not remeasured and adjusted as long as these instruments continue to qualify for stockholders’ equity classification.

Credit Agreements

Prior Credit Agreement


In April 2011,On June 29, 2017, we entered into a credit agreement with certain lenders whichand terminated a prior credit agreement. The credit agreement was amended in 2018, 2020, 2021, and restated in March 2013, and2023, as further described below (as amended, in February, March, and June 2014 (the "Prior Credit Agreement"the “Credit Agreement”). The Prior Credit Agreement, as amended and restated, provided for senior secured credit facilities, comprised of $943.5 million of term loans, of which $300.0 million was borrowed in February 2014 and $643.5 million was borrowed in March 2014 (together, the "2014 Term Loans"), the outstanding portion of which was scheduled to mature in September 2019, and a $300.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Prior Revolving Credit Facility"), scheduled to mature in September 2018, subject to increase and reduction from time to time, as described in the Prior Credit Agreement.
In June 2014, we utilized the majority of the combined net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes and the concurrent issuance of 5,750,000 shares of common stock to retire $530.0 million of the 2014 Term Loans and all $106.0 million of then-outstanding borrowings under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility.
The 2014 Term Loans incurred interest at our option at either a base rate plus a margin of 1.75% or an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, as defined in the Prior Credit Agreement, plus a margin of 2.75%.
2017 Credit Agreement

On June 29, 2017, we entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “2017 Credit Agreement”) with certain lenders and terminated the Prior Credit Agreement.


The 2017 Credit Agreement provides for $725.0 million of senior secured credit facilities, comprised of a $425.0 million term loan maturingoriginally set to mature on June 29, 2024 (the “2017 Term“Term Loan”), and a $300.0 million revolving credit facility maturing on June 29, 2022April 9, 2026 (the “2017“Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility replaced our prior $300.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Prior Revolving Credit Facility”), and is subject to increase and reduction from time to time according to the terms of the 2017 Credit Agreement. The maturity dates of the 2017 Term Loan and 2017 Revolving Credit Facility will be accelerated to March 1, 2021 if on such date any Notes remain outstanding.
The majority of the proceeds from the 2017 Term Loan were used to repay all $406.9 million owedoutstanding term loans under our prior credit agreement.

Optional prepayments of loans under the 2014Credit Agreement are generally permitted without premium or penalty. During the three months ended April 30, 2021, in addition to our regular quarterly $1.1 million principal payment, we repaid $309.0 million of our Term Loans at June 29, 2017 upon termination ofLoan, reducing the Prior Credit Agreement. There were nooutstanding principal balance to $100.0 million. On April 27, 2023, we repaid the remaining $100.0 million outstanding principal balance on our Term Loan utilizing proceeds from borrowings under the Priorour Revolving Credit Facility, at June 29, 2017.
The 2017along with $0.5 million of accrued interest thereon. As a result, $0.2 million of combined deferred debt issuance costs and unamortized discount associated with the Term Loan was subject to an original issuance discount of approximately $0.5 million. This discount is being amortized aswere written off and are included within interest expense overon our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the termsix months ended July 31, 2023.

Interest rates on loans under the 2017 Credit Agreement are periodically reset, at our option, originally at either a Eurodollar Rate (which was derived from LIBOR) or an ABR rateRate (each as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement), plus in each case a margin.

On May 10, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) related to the planned phase-out of LIBOR by the UK Financial Conduct Authority. Effective July 1, 2023, borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest, at our option, at either: (i) the alternate base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus the applicable margin therefor (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (ii) the adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate published by the CME Term SOFR Administrator (as more fully defined and set forth in the Credit Agreement, “Adjusted Term SOFR”), plus the applicable margin therefor. The applicable margin in each case is determined based on our Leverage Ratio (as defined below) and ranges from 0.25% to 1.25% for borrowings bearing interest at the 2017 Term Loan is fixed atalternate base rate and from 1.25% to 2.25% for Eurodollar loans, and at 1.25% for ABR loans. For loansborrowings bearing interest based on Adjusted Term SOFR.

Borrowings outstanding under the 2017Revolving Credit Facility were $100.0 million at July 31, 2023, which is included in long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. For borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, the margin is determined by reference to our Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement) leverage ratio (the “Leverage Ratio”"Leverage Ratio").
As of OctoberJuly 31, 2017,2023, the interest rate on 2017 Term Loanour revolving credit facility borrowings was 3.56%6.93%. Taking into account the impact of the original issuance discount and related deferred debt issuance costs, the effective interest rate on the 2017 Term Loan was approximately 3.74% at October 31, 2017. As of January 31, 2017 the weighted-average interest rate on the 2014 Terms Loans was 3.58%.
WeIn addition, we are required to pay a commitment fee with respect to unused availability under the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility at a raterates per annum determined by reference to our Leverage Ratio.
The 2017 Term Loan requires quarterly principal paymentsproceeds of approximately $1.1 million, which commenced on August 1, 2017, with the remaining balance due on June 29, 2024. Optional prepayments of loansborrowings under the 2017Revolving Credit Agreement are generallyFacility may be used for our working capital and general corporate purposes, including for permitted without premium or penalty.acquisitions and permitted stock repurchases, and the repayment of term loans, if any.

Our obligations under the 2017 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of our direct and indirect existing and future material domestic wholly owned restricted subsidiaries, and are secured by a security interest in substantially all of our assets and the assets of the guarantor subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

The 2017 Credit Agreement contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type. The 2017 Credit Agreement also contains a financial covenant that, solely with respect to the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility, requires us to maintain a Leverage Ratio of no greater than 4.50 to 1. The limitations imposed by the covenants are subject to certain exceptions as detailed in the 2017 Credit Agreement.

The 2017 Credit Agreement provides for events of default with corresponding grace periods that we believe are customary for credit facilities of this type. Upon an event of default, all of our obligations owed under the 2017 Credit Agreement may be declared immediately due and payable, and the lenders’ commitments to make loans under the 2017 Credit Agreement may be terminated.
Loss on Early Retirement of 2014
Deferred debt issuance costs associated with the Term Loans

AtLoan were amortized using the June 29, 2017 closing date of the 2017 Credit Agreement, there were $3.2 million of unamortizedeffective interest rate method, and deferred debt issuance costs and a $0.1 million unamortized term loan discount associated with the 2014 Term Loans and the Prior Revolving Credit Facility. Of the $3.2 million of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs, $1.4 million was associated with commitments under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility provided by lenders that are continuing to provide commitments under the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility and therefore continued to be deferred, and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility. The remaining $1.8 million of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs and the $0.1 million unamortized discount, all of which related to the 2014 Term Loans, were written off as a $1.9 million loss on early retirement of debt during the three months ended July 31, 2017.
2017 Credit Agreement Issuance Costs
We incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $6.8 million in connection with the 2017 Credit Agreement, which were deferred and are being amortized as interest expense over the terms of the facilities under the 2017 Credit Agreement. Of these deferred debt issuance costs, $4.1 million were associated with the 2017 Term Loan and are being amortized using the effective

interest rate method, and $2.7 million were associated with the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility and are being amortized on a straight-line basis.

•On May 7, 2020, we issued a total of 200,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $200.0 million, or $1,000 per share, to the Apax Investor. In connection therewith, we incurred direct and incremental costs of $2.7 million, including financial advisory fees, closing costs, legal fees, and other offering-related costs. These direct and incremental costs reduced the carrying amount of the Series A Preferred Stock.


•In connection with the completion of the Spin-Off, on April 6, 2021, we issued a total of 200,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $200.0 million, or $1,000 per share, to the Apax Investor. In connection therewith, we incurred direct and incremental costs of $1.3 million, including financial advisory fees, closing costs, legal fees, and other offering-related costs. These direct and incremental costs reduced the carrying amount of the Series B Preferred Stock.

Each of the rights, preferences, and privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are set forth in separate certificates of designation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on the applicable issuance date.

Voting Rights

Holders of the Preferred Stock have the right to vote on matters submitted to a vote of the holders of our common stock, on an as-converted basis; however, in no event will the holders of Preferred Stock have the right to vote shares of the Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis in excess of 19.9% of the voting power of the common stock outstanding immediately prior to December 4, 2019.

Dividends and Liquidation Rights

The Preferred Stock ranks senior to the shares of our common stock with respect to dividend rights and rights on the distribution of assets on any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs. Shares of Preferred Stock have a liquidation preference of the greater of $1,000 per share or the amount that would be received if the shares are converted at the then applicable conversion price at the time of such liquidation.

Each series of Preferred Stock pays dividends at an annual rate of 5.2% until May 7, 2024, and thereafter at a rate of 4.0%, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. Dividends on the Preferred Stock are cumulative and payable semi-annually in arrears in cash. All dividends that are not paid in cash will remain accumulated dividends with respect to each share of Preferred Stock. The dividend rate is subject to increase (i) to 6.0% per annum in the event the number of shares of common stock into which the Preferred Stock could be converted exceeds 19.9% of the voting power of outstanding common stock on December 4, 2019 (unless we obtain shareholder approval of the issuance of common stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock) and (ii) by 1.0% each year, up to a maximum dividend rate of 10.0% per annum, in the event we fail to satisfy our obligations to redeem the Preferred Stock in specified circumstances.

For the three and six months ended July 31, 2023, we paid $10.4 million and $20.8 million of preferred stock dividends, respectively, $10.4 million of which was accrued as of January 31, 2023, and there were $1.7 million of cumulative undeclared and unpaid preferred stock dividends at July 31, 2023. There were no accrued dividends as of July 31, 2023. We reflected $5.2 million and $10.4 million of preferred stock dividends in our condensed consolidated results of operations, for purposes of computing net loss attributable to Verint Systems Inc. common shares, for the three and six months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Conversion

The Series A Preferred Stock was initially convertible into common stock at the election of the holder, subject to certain conditions, at an initial conversion price of $53.50 per share. The initial conversion price represented a conversion premium of 17.1% over the volume-weighted average price per share of our common stock over the 45 consecutive trading days immediately prior to December 4, 2019. In accordance with the Investment Agreement, the Series A Preferred Stock did not participate in the Spin-Off distribution of the Cognyte shares, which occurred on February 1, 2021, and the Series A Preferred Stock conversion price was instead adjusted to $36.38 per share based on the ratio of the relative trading prices of Verint and Cognyte following the Spin-Off. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at a conversion price of $50.25, based in part on our trading price over the 20 day trading period following the Spin-Off. As of July 31, 2023, the maximum number of shares of common stock that could be required to be issued upon conversion of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock was approximately 9.5 million shares and Apax’s ownership in us on an as-converted basis was approximately 12.9%.

19
8.STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Beginning May 7, 2023, in the case of the Series A Preferred Stock, and April 6, 2024, in the case of the Series B Preferred Stock, we have the option to require that all (but not less than all) of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of the series convert into common stock if the volume-weighted average price per share of the common stock for at least 30 trading days in any 45 consecutive trading day period exceeds 175% of the then-applicable conversion price of such series (a “Mandatory Conversion”). As of July 31, 2023, the volume-weighted average price per share of common stock has not exceeded 175% of the $36.38 conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock.

We may redeem any or all of the Preferred Stock of a series for cash at any time after May 7, 2026, in the case of the Series A Preferred Stock, and April 6, 2027, in the case of the Series B Preferred Stock, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference of the shares of the Preferred Stock, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the redemption date, plus a make-whole amount designed to allow the Apax Investor to earn a total 8.0% internal rate of return on such shares.

The Preferred Stock may not be sold or transferred without our prior written consent. The common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock is not subject to this restriction. The restriction on the sale or transfer of the Preferred Stock does not apply to certain transfers to one or more permitted co-investors or transfers or pledges of the Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of specified margin loans entered into by the Apax Investor as well as transfers effected pursuant to a merger, consolidation, or similar transaction consummated by us and transfers that are approved by our board of directors.

At any time after November 7, 2028, in the case of the Series A Preferred Stock, and October 6, 2029, in the case of the Series B Preferred Stock, or upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event (as defined in the certificates of designation), the holders of the applicable series of Preferred Stock will have the right to cause us to redeem all of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock for cash at a redemption price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference of the shares of such series, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the redemption date. Therefore, the Preferred Stock has been classified as temporary equity on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of July 31, 2023 and January 31, 2023, separate from permanent equity, as the potential required repurchase of the Preferred Stock, however remote in likelihood, is not solely under our control.

As of July 31, 2023, the Preferred Stock was not redeemable, and we have concluded that it is currently not probable of becoming redeemable, including from the occurrence of a change in control triggering event. The holders’ redemption rights which occur at November 7, 2028, in the case of the Series A Preferred Stock, and October 6, 2029, in the case of the Series B Preferred Stock, are not considered probable because there is a more than remote likelihood that the Mandatory Conversion may occur prior to such redemption rights. We therefore did not adjust the carrying amount of the Preferred Stock to its current redemption amount, which was its liquidation preference at July 31, 2023 plus accrued and unpaid dividends. As of July 31, 2023, the stated value of the liquidation preference for each series of Preferred Stock was $200.0 million and cumulative, unpaid dividends on each series of Preferred Stock was $0.9 million.

Future Tranche Right

We determined that our obligation to issue and the Apax Investor’s obligation to purchase 200,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock in connection with the completion of the Spin-Off and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions (the “Future Tranche Right”) met the definition of a freestanding financial instrument as the Future Tranche Right is legally detachable and separately exercisable from the Series A Preferred Stock. At issuance, we allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock to the Future Tranche Right based upon its fair value at such time, with the remaining proceeds being allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock. The Future Tranche Right was remeasured at fair value each reporting period until the settlement of the right (at the time of the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock), and changes in its fair value were recognized as a non-cash charge or benefit within other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Upon issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock on May 7, 2020, the Future Tranche Right was recorded as an asset of $3.4 million, as the purchase price of the Series B Preferred Stock was greater than its estimated fair value at the expected settlement date. This resulted in a $203.4 million carrying value, before direct and incremental issuance costs, for the Series A Preferred Stock.

Immediately prior to the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Future Tranche Right was remeasured and upon the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock in April 2021, the Future Tranche Right was settled, resulting in a reclassification of the $37.0 million fair value of the Future Tranche Right liability at that time to the carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock. This resulted in a $237.0 million carrying value, before direct and incremental issuance costs, for the Series B Preferred

In addition, the terms of some of our equity award agreements with all grantees provide for automatic repurchases by us for the same purpose if a vesting-related or delivery-related tax event occurs at a time when the holder is not permitted to sell shares in the market. Our stock bonus program contains similar terms. Any such repurchases of common stock occur at prevailing market prices and are recorded as treasury stock.

When treasury shares are reissued, they are recorded at the average cost of the treasury shares acquired.

No treasury stock remained outstanding at July 31, 2023 and January 31, 2023, respectively.

9.11.   INCOME TAXES
 

Our interim (benefit) provision for income taxes is measured using an estimated annual effective income tax rate, adjusted for discrete items that occur within the periods presented.


For the three months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2017,2023, we recorded an income tax provisionbenefit of $5.9$2.5 million on pre-tax incomea pretax loss of $9.0$8.3 million, which represented an effective income tax rate of 66.0%30.5%. The incomeeffective tax provision does not include income tax benefits on losses incurredrate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the U.S. taxation of certain foreign activities, offset by lower statutory rates in certain domestic and foreign operations where we maintain valuation allowances. Our pre-tax income in profitable jurisdictions, where we record income tax provisions, was higher than the pre-tax losses in domestic and foreign jurisdictions where we maintain valuation allowances and do not record tax benefits.jurisdictions.


For the three months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2016,2022, we recorded an income tax provision of $3.4$2.8 million on pretax income of $0.6 million, which represented an effective income tax rate of 465.4%. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a discrete income tax provision of $2.1 million attributable to the recording of a valuation

allowance against a deferred tax asset related to an asset held for sale in a foreign jurisdiction and the U.S. taxation of certain foreign activities, offset by lower statutory rates in certain foreign jurisdictions. Excluding the discrete income tax provision attributable to the foreign jurisdiction valuation allowance, the result was an income tax provision of $0.7 million on pre-tax income of $0.6 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 124.8%.

For the six months ended July 31, 2023, we recorded an income tax provision of $1.8 million on a pre-taxpretax loss of $4.1$0.3 million, which represented a negative effective income tax rate of 82.4%543.0%. The effective tax rate varies significantly from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to the impact of recurring discrete income tax provision does not include incomeadjustments against the near break-even pretax loss. In addition, the effective tax benefits on losses incurredrate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to the U.S. taxation of certain foreign activities, offset by lower statutory rates in certain domestic and foreign operations where we maintain valuation allowances and is mainly the result of the activities of profitable jurisdictions. Our pre-tax income in profitable jurisdictions, where we record income tax provisions, was lower than the pre-tax losses in domestic and foreign jurisdictions where we maintain valuation allowances and do not record income tax benefits.


For the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2017,2022, we recorded an income tax provision of $9.5$3.1 million on a pre-tax losspretax income of $12.2$1.5 million, which represented a negativean effective income tax rate of 77.7%212.1%.

Our pre-tax income in profitable jurisdictions, where we record income tax provisions,allowance, the result was lower than the pre-tax losses in domestic and foreign jurisdictions where we maintain valuation allowances and do not record income tax benefits.

For the nine months ended October 31, 2016, we recorded an income tax provision of $4.7$1.0 million on a pre-tax lossincome of $30.0$1.5 million which represented a negativeresulting in an effective income tax rate of 15.8%71.5%. The income tax provision does not include income tax benefits on losses incurred by certain domestic and foreign operations where we maintain valuation allowances and is mainly the result of the activities of profitable jurisdictions. Our pre-tax income in profitable jurisdictions, where we record income tax provisions, was significantly lower than the pre-tax losses in domestic and foreign jurisdictions where we maintain valuation allowances and do not record income tax benefits.


As required by the authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes, we evaluate the realizability of deferred income tax assets on a jurisdictional basis at each reporting date. Accounting guidance for income taxes guidance requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more-likely-than-not that all or a portion of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. In circumstances where there is sufficient negative evidence indicating that the deferred income tax assets are not more-likely-than-not realizable, we establish a valuation allowance. We determined that there is sufficient negative evidence to maintain the valuation allowances against our federal and certain state and foreign deferred income tax assets as a result of historical losses in the most recent three-year period in the U.S.certain state and in certain foreign jurisdictions. We intend to maintain valuation allowances until sufficient positive evidence exists to support a reversal.


We had unrecognized income tax benefits of $154.9$87.7 million and $148.6$87.9 million (excluding interest and penalties) as of OctoberJuly 31, 20172023 and January 31, 2017, respectively.2023, respectively, that if recognized, would impact our effective income tax rate. The accrued liability for interest and penalties was $4.7$6.0 million and $3.9$5.2 million at OctoberJuly 31, 20172023 and January 31, 2017,2023, respectively. Interest and penalties are recorded as a component of the provision for income taxes in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.  As of October 31, 2017 and January 31, 2017, the total amount of unrecognized income tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact our effective income tax rate were approximately $150.5 million and $143.0 million, respectively. We regularly assess the adequacy of our provisions for income tax contingencies in accordance with the applicable authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes. As a result, we may adjust the reserves for unrecognized income tax benefits for the impact of new facts and developments, such as changes to interpretations of relevant tax law, assessments from taxing authorities, settlements with taxing authorities, and lapses of statutes of limitation. Further, we believe that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized income tax benefits at OctoberJuly 31, 20172023 could decrease by approximately $3.1$7.0 million in the next twelve months as a result of settlement of certain tax audits or lapses of statutes of limitation. Such decreases may involve the payment of additional income taxes, the adjustment of deferred income taxes including the need for additional valuation allowances, and the recognition of income tax benefits. Our income tax returns are subject to ongoing tax examinations in several jurisdictions in which we operate. We also believe that it is reasonably possible that new issues may be raised by tax authorities or developments in tax audits may occur, which would require increases or decreases to the balance of reserves for unrecognized income tax benefits; however, an estimate of such changes cannot reasonably be made.



The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Pillar 2 guidelines address the increasing digitalization of the global economy, re-allocating taxing rights among countries. The European Union and many other member states have committed to adopting Pillar 2 which calls for a global minimum tax of 15% to be effective for tax years beginning in 2024. The OECD guidelines published to date include transition and safe harbor rules around the implementation of the Pillar 2 global minimum tax. We are monitoring developments and evaluating the impacts these new rules will have on our tax rate, including eligibility to qualify for these safe harbor rules.

Fair Value Measurements
 
Money Market Funds and U.S. Treasury Bills - We value our money market funds and U.S. treasury bills using quoted active market prices for such funds.instruments.


24
Table of Contents
Short-term Investments, Corporate Debt Securities, and Commercial Paper - The fair values of short-term investments, as well as corporate debt securities and commercial paper classified as cash equivalents, are estimated using observable market prices for identical securities that are traded in less-active markets, if available. When observable market prices for identical securities are not available, we value these short-term investments using non-binding market price quotes from brokers which we review for reasonableness using observable market data; quoted market prices for similar instruments; or pricing models, such as a discounted cash flow model.


Foreign Currency Forward Contracts - The estimated fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on quotes received from the counterparties thereto. These quotes are reviewed for reasonableness by discounting the future estimated cash flows under the contracts, considering the terms and maturities of the contracts and market foreign currency exchange rates using readily observable market prices for similar contracts.


Interest Rate Swap Agreement - The fair value of our interest rate swap agreement is based in part on data received from the counterparty, and represents the estimated amount we would receive or pay to settle the agreement, taking into consideration current and projected future interest rates as well as the creditworthiness of the parties, all of which can be validated through readily observable data from external sources.
Contingent Consideration Assets and Liabilities - Business Combinations and Divestitures - The fair value of the contingent consideration related to business combinations and divestitures is estimated using a probability-adjusted discounted cash flow model. These fair value measurements are based on significant inputs not observable in the market. The key internally developed assumptions used in these models are discount rates and the probabilities assigned to the milestones to be achieved. We remeasure the fair value of the contingent consideration at each reporting period, and any changes in fair value resulting from either the passage of time or events occurring after the acquisition date, such as changes in discount rates, or in the expectations of achieving the performance targets, are recorded within selling, general, and administrative expenses. Increases or decreases in discount rates would have inverse impacts on the related fair value measurements, while favorable or unfavorable changes in expectations of achieving performance targets would result in corresponding increases or decreases in the related fair value measurements. We utilized discount rates ranging from 3.0%7.6% to 20.0%8.1%, with a weighted average discount rate of 7.9% in our calculation of the estimated fair values of our contingent consideration liabilities as of July 31, 2023. We utilized discount rates ranging from 6.6% to 7.6%, with a weighted average discount rate of 6.9% in our calculations of the estimated fair values of our contingent consideration liabilities as of October 31, 2017 and January 31, 2017.

Option to Acquire Noncontrolling Interests of Consolidated Subsidiaries -2023. The fair value of the option is determined primarily by using the income approach, which discounts expected future cash flows to present value using estimates and assumptions determined by management. This fair value measurement is based upon significant inputs not observable in the market. We remeasure the fair value of the option at each reporting period, and any changes in fair value are recorded within selling, general, and administrative expenses. We utilized discount rates of 12.5% and 14.0% in our calculation of the estimated fair value of the optioncontingent consideration receivable was fully paid as of OctoberJuly 31, 2017 and January 31, 2017, respectively.2023.

The estimated fair value of our Term Loan borrowing was approximately $100 million at January 31, 2017, respectively.2023. On April 27, 2023, we repaid in full the remaining $100 million outstanding balance on our Term Loan utilizing proceeds from borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. We had no borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility at January 31, 2023. The estimated fair values of the term loans areTerm Loan borrowings were based upon indicative bid and ask prices as determined by the agent responsible for the syndication of our term loans.

The estimated fair values of the 2021 Notes arewere determined based on quoted bid and ask prices in the over-the-counter market in which the 2021 Notes trade.traded. We consider these inputs to be within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we also measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Our non-financial assets, including goodwill, intangible assets, operating lease right-of-use assets, and property, plant and equipment, are measured at fair value when there is an indication of impairment and the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s projected undiscounted cash flows.

In March 2023, we invested approximately $1.1 million in a privately-held company via a simple agreement for future equity (“SAFE”). In July 2023, we made a second SAFE investment of $0.5 million for a total investment of approximately

11.DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
$1.6 million. The SAFE provides that, upon the completion by such company of a qualified equity financing, we will automatically receive the number of shares of capital stock of such company equal to the SAFE purchase amount divided by the Discount Price (as such term is defined in the SAFE). If there is a liquidity event affecting such company, such as a change in control or initial public offering, we will receive a cash payment equal to the greater of (a) the SAFE purchase amount or (b) the amount payable on the number of shares of common stock of such company equal to the SAFE purchase amount divided by the Liquidity Price (as such term is defined in the SAFE). Our investment is carried at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer and is included within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of July 31, 2023.

The carrying amount of our noncontrolling equity investments in privately-held companies without readily determinable fair values was $5.1 million as of July 31, 2023 and January 31, 2023. These investments were included within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of July 31, 2023 and January 31, 2023. There were no observable price changes in our investments in privately-held companies during the six months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022. We did not recognize any impairments during the three and six months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022.


13.   DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Our primary objective for holding derivative financial instruments is to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk, when deemed appropriate. We enter into these contracts in the normal course of business to mitigate risks and not for speculative purposes.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts


Under our risk management strategy, we periodically use foreign currency forward contracts to manage our short-term exposures to fluctuations in operational cash flows resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These cash flow exposures result from portions of our forecasted operating expenses, primarily compensation and related expenses, which are transacted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, most notably the Israeli shekel. We also periodically utilize foreign currency forward contracts to manage exposures resulting from forecasted customer collections to be remitted in currencies other than the applicable functional currency, and exposures from cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments denominated in currencies other than the applicable functional currency. Our joint venture, which has a Singapore dollar functional currency, also periodically utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to exchange rate fluctuations related to settlements of liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars. These foreign currency forward contracts generally have maturities of no longer than twelve months, although occasionally we will execute a contract that extends beyond twelve months, depending upon the nature of the underlying risk.


We held outstanding foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts of $145.6$6.5 million and $144.0$6.8 million as of OctoberJuly 31, 20172023 and January 31, 2017,2023, respectively.

Interest Rate Swap Agreement

To partially mitigate risks associated with the variable interest rates on the term loan borrowings under our Prior Credit Agreement, in February 2016 we executed a pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap agreement with a multinational financial institution under which we pay interest at a fixed rate of 4.143% and receive variable interest of three-month LIBOR (subject to a minimum of 0.75%), plus a spread of 2.75%, on a notional amount of $200.0 million. Although the Prior Credit Agreement was terminated on June 29, 2017, the interest rate swap agreement remains in effect, and serves as an economic hedge to partially mitigate the risk of higher borrowing costs under our 2017 Credit Agreement resulting from increases in market interest rates.
Prior to June 29, 2017, the interest rate swap agreement was designated as a cash flow hedge and as such, changes in its fair value were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and were reclassified into the condensed consolidated statements of operations within interest expense in the period in which the hedged transaction affected earnings. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, was recognized currently in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

On June 29, 2017, concurrent with the execution of the 2017 Credit Agreement and termination of the Prior Credit Agreement, the interest rate swap agreement was no longer designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes, and because future

occurrence of the specific forecasted variable cash flows which had been hedged by the interest rate swap agreement was no longer probable, $0.9 million fair value of the interest rate swap at that date was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into the condensed consolidated statement of operations as income within other income (expense), net. Ongoing changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement are now recognized within other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Settlements with the counterparty under the interest rate swap agreement occur quarterly, and the agreement will terminate on September 6, 2019.

12.STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Amended and Restated Stock-Based Compensation Plan


On June 22, 2017,2023, our stockholders approved the Verint Systems Inc. Amended and Restated 20152023 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the "2017 Amended Plan"“2023 Plan”), which amended and restated. Upon approval of the Verint Systems Inc. 2015 Long-Term Stock Incentive2023 Plan, new awards were no longer permitted under our prior stock-based compensation plan (the "2015 Plan"“2019 Plan”). As withAwards outstanding at June 22, 2023 under the 20152019 Plan or other previous stock-based compensation plans were not impacted by the 2017 Amendedapproval of the 2023 Plan. Collectively, our stock-based compensation plans are referred to herein as the “Plans”.

The 2023 Plan authorizes our board of directors to provide equity-based compensation in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance awards, other stock-based awards, and performance compensation awards.

The 2017 Amended Plan amends and restates the 2015 Plan to, among other things, increase the number of shares available for issuance under the 2017 Amended Plan. Subject to adjustment as provided in the 2017 Amended2023 Plan, up to an aggregate of (i) 7,975,0009,000,000 shares of our common stock (on an option-equivalent basis), plus (ii) the number of shares of our common stock available for issuance under the 20152019 Plan as of June 22, 2017,2023, plus (iii) the number of shares of our common stock that become available for issuance as a result of awards made under the 20152019 Plan or the 2017 Amended2023 Plan that are forfeited, cancelled, exchanged, withheld or surrendered orthat terminate or expire, may be issued or transferred in connection with awards under the 2017 Amended2023 Plan. Each stock option or stock-settled stock appreciation right granted under the 2017 Amended2023 Plan will reduce the available plan capacity by one share and each other award denominated in shares that is granted under the 2023 Plan will reduce the available plan capacity by 2.471.90 shares.

The 2017 Amended Plan expires on June 22, 2027.

Awards are generally subject to multi-year vesting periods. We recognize compensation expense for awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which are generally the vesting periods, reduced by estimated forfeitures.

Awards under our stock bonus and bonus share programs are accounted for as liability-classified awards, because the obligations are based predominantly on fixed monetary amounts that are generally known at inception of the obligation, to be settled with a variable number of shares of our common stock, which for awards under our stock bonus program is determined using a discounted average price of our common stock.


Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units
 
We periodically award restricted stock units ("RSUs")RSUs to our directors, officers, and other employees. These awards contain various vesting conditions and are subject to certain restrictions and forfeiture provisions prior to vesting. Some of these RSU awards to executive officers and certain employees vest upon the achievement of specified performance goals or market conditions (performance-based RSUs)(performance stock units or “PSUs”).


The following table (Award(“Award Activity Table)Table”) summarizes award activity (including stock-settledfor RSUs, performance-based stock-settled RSUs,PSUs, and other stock awards whichthat reduce available plan capacity) and related informationPlan capacity under the Plans for the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2017:2023 and 2022:

Our RSU awards may include a provision which allows the awards to be settled with cash payments upon vesting, rather than with delivery of common stock, at the discretion of our board of directors. As of October 31, 2017, for such awards that are outstanding, settlement with cash payments was not considered probable, and therefore these awards have been accounted for as equity-classified awards and are included in the table above.


With respect to our stock bonus program, the activity presented in the table above only includes shares earned and released in consideration of the discount provided under that program. Consistent with the provisions of the 2015 Plan and the 2017 Amended Plan,Plans under which such shares are issued, other shares issued under the stock bonus program are not included in the table above because they do not reduce available plan capacity (since such shares are deemed to be purchased by the grantee at fair value in lieu of receiving an earned cash bonus). Activity presented in the table above includes all shares awarded and released under the bonus share program. Further details appear below under "Stock“Stock Bonus Program"Program and "BonusBonus Share Program"Program”.


Our RSU and PSU awards may include a provision which allows the awards to be settled with cash payments upon vesting, rather than with delivery of common stock, at the discretion of our board of directors. As of July 31, 2023, for such awards that are outstanding, settlement with cash payments was not considered probable, and therefore these awards have been accounted for as equity-classified awards and are included in the table above.

As of OctoberJuly 31, 2017,2023, there was approximately $76.7$101.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested restricted stock units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. The unrecognized compensation expense does not include compensation expense of up to $1.3 million related to shares for which a grant date has been established but the requisite service period has not begun.


Stock Bonus Program and Bonus Share Program


Our stock bonus program permits eligible employees to receive a portion of their earned bonuses, otherwise payable in cash, in the form of discounted shares of our common stock. Executive officers are eligible to participate in this program to the extent that shares remaincapacity remains available for awardsunder the program following the enrollment of all other participants. Shares awarded to executive officers with respect to the discount feature of the program are subject to a one-year vesting period. This program is subject to annual funding approval by our board of directors and an annual cap on the number of shares that can be issued. Subject to these limitations, the number of shares to be issued under the program for a given year is determined using a five-day trailing average price of our common stock when the awards are calculated, reduced by a discount determined by the board of directors each year (the "discount"“discount”). To the extent that this program is not funded in a given year or the number of shares of common stock needed to fully satisfy employee enrollment exceeds the annual cap, the applicable portion of the employee bonuses will generally revert to being paid in cash. Obligations under this

Under our bonus share program, are accounted for as liabilities, because the obligations are based predominantly on fixed monetary amountswe may provide discretionary bonuses to employees or pay earned bonuses that are generally known at inception ofoutside the obligation, to be settled with a variable numberstock bonus program in the form of shares of common stock. Unlike the stock determined usingbonus program, there is no enrollment for this program and no discount feature.
For bonuses in respect of the year ended January 31, 2023, our board of directors approved the use of up to 300,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate for awards under these two programs, with up to 200,000 shares of common stock, and a discounted average pricediscount of 15% approved for awards under our common stock.stock bonus program. During the three months ended July 31, 2023, we issued approximately 27,000 shares under the stock bonus program and 178,000 shares under the bonus share program, in respect of the year ended January 31, 2023.


The following table summarizes activity under the stock bonus program during the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 31, 20172023 and 20162022 in isolation. As noted above, shares issued in respect of the discount feature under the program reduce available plan capacity and are included in the Award Activity Table above. Other shares issued under the program do not reduce available plan capacity and are therefore excluded from the Award Activity Table above.

Bonus Share Program


In February 2015, the board of directors authorized a separate program under which we may provide discretionary year-end bonuses to employees in the form of shares of common stock. Unlike the stock bonus program, there is no enrollment for this program and no discount feature. Similar to the accounting for the stock bonus program, obligations for these bonuses are accounted for as liabilities, because the obligations are based predominantly on fixed monetary amounts that are generally known, to be settled with a variable number of shares of common stock.

For bonuses in respect of the year ended January 31, 2017, theMarch 2023, our board of directors approved the use of up to 300,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate under this program. During the nine months ended October 31, 2017, approximately 293,000these two programs, with up to 200,000 shares of common stock, were awarded and releaseda discount of 15%, for awards under our stock bonus program for the bonus share program in respect ofperformance period ending January 31, 2024. Any shares earned under these programs will be issued during the year ended January 31, 2017.2025.

The combined accrued liabilities for the stock bonus program and the bonus share programthese two programs were $4.5$3.5 million and $10.0$7.9 million at OctoberJuly 31, 20172023 and January 31, 2017,2023, respectively. As noted above, shares issued under this program are included in the Award Activity Table appearing above.


In August 2017, the board of directors approved the use of up to 300,000 shares of common stock for bonuses in respect of the year ending January 31, 2018 under the bonus share program, the stock bonus program, or otherwise. This authorization replaced the board’s previous authorization in March 2017 for the use of up to 125,000 shares under the stock bonus program for the year ending January 31, 2018.

Legal Proceedings


OnCTI Litigation

In March 26, 2009, one of our former employees, Ms. Orit Deutsch, commenced legal actions were commenced by Ms. Orit Deutsch,in Israel against our former primary Israeli subsidiary, Cognyte Technologies Ltd. (formerly known as Verint Systems Limited or “VSL”) (Case Number 4186/09) and against our former affiliate CTI (Case Number 1335/09). Also, in March 2009, a former employee of ourComverse Limited (CTI’s primary Israeli subsidiary Verint Systemsat the time), Ms. Roni Katriel, commenced similar legal actions in Israel against Comverse Limited ("VSL"), against VSL in the Tel Aviv Regional Labor Court (Case Number 4186/3444/09) (the "Deutsch Labor Action") and against CTI in the Tel Aviv District Court (Case Number 1335/09) (the "Deutsch District Action"). In these actions, the Deutsch Labor Action, Ms. Deutsch filed a motionplaintiffs generally sought to approve acertify class action lawsuitsuits against the defendants on the grounds that she purported to represent a classbehalf of our employeescurrent and former employees of VSL and Comverse Limited who werehad been granted Verint and CTI stock options in Verint and/or CTI and who were allegedly damaged as a result of thea suspension of option exercises during the period from March 2006 through March 2010, during which we did not make periodic filings with the SEC as a result of certain internal and external investigations and reviews of accounting matters discussed in our prior public filings. In the Deutsch District Action, in addition to a small amount of individual damages, Ms. Deutsch was seeking to certify a class of plaintiffs who were allegedly damaged due to their inability to exercise Verint and CTI stock options as a result of alleged negligence by CTI in its financial reporting. The class certification motions do not specify an amount of damages. On February 8, 2010, the Deutsch Labor Action was dismissed for lack of material jurisdiction and was transferred to the Tel Aviv District Court and consolidated with the Deutsch District Action. On March 16, 2009 and March 26, 2009, respectively, legal actions were commenced by Ms. Roni Katriel, a former employee of CTI's former subsidiary, Comverse Limited, against Comverse Limited in the Tel Aviv Regional Labor Court (Case Number 3444/09) (the "Katriel Labor Action") and against CTI in the Tel Aviv District Court (Case Number 1334/09) (the "Katriel District Action"). In the Katriel Labor Action, Ms. Katriel is seeking to certify a class of plaintiffs who were granted CTI stock options and were allegedly damaged as a result of the suspension ofon option exercises during an extended filing delay period affecting CTI's periodic reportingthat is discussed in CTI'sour and CTI’s historical SECpublic filings. In the Katriel District Action, in addition to a small amount of individual damages, Ms. Katriel is seeking to certify a class of plaintiffs who were allegedly damaged due to their inability to exercise CTI stock options as a result of alleged negligence by CTI in its financial reporting. The class certification motions do not specify an amount of damages. On March 2, 2010, the Katriel Labor Action was transferred toJune 7, 2012, the Tel Aviv District Court, based on an agreed motionwhere the cases had been filed byor transferred, allowed the parties requesting such transfer.

On April 4, 2012, Ms. Deutsch and Ms. Katriel filed an uncontested motionplaintiffs to consolidate and amend their claims and on June 7, 2012,complaints against the District Court allowed Ms. Deutsch and Ms. Katriel to file the consolidated class certification motion and an amended consolidated complaint againstthree defendants: VSL, CTI, and Comverse Limited.

In the plaintiffs filed a motion requesting that the District Court order CTI to set asideperiod leading up to $150.0 million in assets to secure any future judgment. The District Court ruled at such time that it would not decide this motion until the Deutsch and

Katriel class certification motion was heard. Plaintiffs initially filed a motion to appeal this ruling in August 2012, but subsequently withdrew it in July 2014.

The court also ruled that the merits of the case and any calculation of damages would be evaluated under New York law.


On December 15, 2016, CTI filed withAs a result of this ruling (which excluded claims related to Verint stock options from the Supreme Court a motion for leave to appeal the District Court's August 28, 2016 ruling.

At the recommendation of the District Court, in June 2022, the parties conducted another round of mediation in New York. On July 10, 2022, the parties reached an agreement to settle the matter on terms set forth in a settlement agreement that was executed by all parties and submitted a motion for approval of the settlement agreement to the District Court. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, subject to full and final waiver, Mavenir Inc. and/or Comverse, Inc. and/or Mavenir Ltd. agreed to pay a total of $16.0 million (such amount to be paid in three phases as set forth in the settlement agreement) as compensation to the plaintiffs and members of the class. The compensation amount is comprehensive, final and absolute and includes within it all the amounts and expenses to be paid in connection with the settlement agreement. Under the terms of an associated guaranty agreement, Verint has guaranteed the payment of the compensation amount in the event it is not yetpaid by the primary obligors. On February 7, 2023, the District Court approved the settlement without material changes. As of July 31, 2023, the first installment of the compensation amount had been set.paid by Mavenir, leaving two installments of approximately $4.7 million each, one of which was paid in September 2023 with the final installment to be paid in April 2024.


FromUnder the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement entered into between Verint and Cognyte, Cognyte has agreed to indemnify Verint for Cognyte’s share of any losses that Verint may suffer related to the foregoing legal actions either in its capacity as successor to CTI, to the extent not indemnified by Mavenir, or due to its former ownership of Cognyte and VSL.

As of July 31, 2023, we had a remaining liability of $9.5 million, which is included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and an offsetting indemnification receivable of $9.5 million, which is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets. There was no impact to our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Unfair Competition Litigation and Related Investigation

As previously disclosed, Verint Americas Inc., as successor to ForeSee Results, Inc. (“ForeSee”), was the defendant in two Eastern District of Michigan cases captioned ACSI LLC v. ForeSee Results, Inc., and CFI Group USA LLC v. Verint Americas Inc. The former case was filed on October 24, 2018 against ForeSee Results, Inc. by American Customer Satisfaction Index, LLC (“ACSI LLC”) (Case No. 2:18-cv-13319) and alleged infringement of two federally registered trademarks and common law unfair competition under federal and state law. The latter case was filed on September 5, 2019 against Verint Americas Inc. (as successor in interest to ForeSee) by CFI Group USA LLC (“CFI”) (Case No. 2:19-cv-12602) and alleged unfair competition and false advertising under federal and state law, as well as tortious interference with contract. We believe that the claims asserted by the plaintiffs in these matters were without merit. Following the filing of the Eastern District of Michigan litigation, ForeSee filed affirmative litigation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Case No. 1:21-cv-00674, Complaint filed on May 7, 2021) against ACSI LLC, CFI, Claes Fornell, and CFI Software LLC (the “Fornell Group”) asserting fraud and other claims against ACSI LLC, CFI, Fornell, and CFI Software for, among other things, their breach of a “Joinder and Waiver Agreement” entered into in connection with the December 2013 sale of ForeSee to its previous owner and misrepresentations in the associated deal documents. Verint acquired ForeSee in December 2018.

In April 2023, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle these actions, and on June 1, 2023, the parties signed a definitive settlement agreement. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Verint paid $9.0 million to the Fornell Group in July 2023 and the parties have agreed to certain restrictive covenants with respect to the future business activities of both ForeSee and the Fornell Group. The agreement provides that the settlement does not constitute a ruling on the merits, an admission as to any issue of fact or principle of law, or an admission of liability or wrongdoing by either ForeSee or Verint. Following the execution of the settlement agreement, the two cases in Michigan against us have been dismissed, and the case in Delaware filed by us has been dismissed.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan’s Civil Division (“USAO”) also conducted a False Claims Act investigation concerning allegations ForeSee and/or Verint failed to provide the federal government the services described in certain government contracts related to ForeSee’s products inherited by Verint in the ForeSee acquisition. Verint received a Civil Investigation Demand (“CID”) in connection with this investigation and provided responses. The False Claims Act contains provisions that allow for private persons (“relators”) to initiate actions by filing claims under seal. We believed and subsequently confirmed that this investigation was initiated by ACSI LLC and CFI in coordination with the Eastern District of Michigan litigation discussed above.

In March 2023, Verint and the Assistant U.S. Attorney overseeing the USAO investigation reached an agreement in principle to resolve the USAO matter. The definitive settlement agreement, which provides that it is not an admission of liability by us, was signed in July 2023 including by the USAO and the relators. Under the settlement agreement, Verint paid $7.0 million to the government in August 2023 (a portion of which is payable by the government to the relators) in exchange for a release of the asserted claims, and an associated civil action brought by the relators has been dismissed.

31

As of January 31, 2023, we recognized a $7.0 million legal settlement liability in respect of the USAO matter and a $3.5 million legal settlement liability in respect of the ACSI and CFI matters within accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and a corresponding insurance recovery receivable in prepaid expenses and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheets. These loss accruals and insurance recoveries were offset within selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended January 31, 2023, resulting in no impact on our consolidated statements of operations.

As of July 31, 2023, we had accrued a $7.0 million legal settlement liability in respect of the USAO matter within accrued expenses and other current liabilities, which was paid in August 2023. The incremental settlement costs of $5.5 million related to the ACSI and CFI matters as a result of the settlement described above is included within selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended July 31, 2023. We reached a final settlement with one of our insurance carriers for a total cumulative insurance recovery of $14.5 million for the losses we incurred related to these actions, which offset settlement and legal expenses during the year ended January 31, 2023. We collected $2.0 million during the year ended January 31, 2023 and $12.5 million was collected in April 2023.

We are a party to various other litigation matters and claims that arise from time to time we or our subsidiaries may be involved in legal proceedings and/or litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the ultimate outcome of any such current claimsmatters will not have a material adverse effect on us, their outcomes are not determinable and negative outcomes may adversely affect our consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations, or cash flows.operations.




14.SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the enterprise’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), or decision making group,16.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In August 2023, we paid a $7.0 million legal settlement liability in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our Chief Executive Officer is our CODM.

We report our results in two operating segments—Customer Engagement Solutions ("Customer Engagement") and Cyber Intelligence Solutions ("Cyber Intelligence"). Our Customer Engagement solutions help customer-centric organizations optimize customer engagement, increase customer loyalty, and maximize revenue opportunities, while generating operational efficiencies, reducing cost, and mitigating risk.  Our Cyber Intelligence solutions are used for a wide range of applications, including predictive intelligence, advanced and complex investigations, security threat analysis, and electronic data and physical assets protection, as well as for generating legal evidence and preventing criminal activity and terrorism.

We measure the performance of our operating segments based on segment revenue and segment contribution.

Segment revenue includes adjustments associated with revenue of acquired companies which are not recognizable within GAAP revenue.  These adjustments primarily relate to the acquisition-date excessrespect of the historical carrying value over the fair

value of acquired companies’ future maintenanceUSAO matter. Please refer to Note 15, “Commitments and service performance obligations. As the obligations are satisfied, we report our segment revenue using the historical carrying values of these obligations, which we believe better reflects our ongoing maintenance and service revenue streams, whereas GAAP revenue is reported using the obligations’ acquisition-date fair values. Segment revenue adjustments can also result from aligning an acquired company’s historical revenue recognition policies to our policies.

Segment contribution includes segment revenue and expenses incurred directly by the segment, including material costs, service costs, research and development, selling, marketing, and certain administrative expenses. When determining segment contribution, we do not allocate certain operating expenses which are provided by shared resources or are otherwise generally not controlled by segment management. These expenses are reported as “Shared support expenses��� in our table of segment operating results, the majority of which are expensesContingencies” for administrative support functions, such as information technology, human resources, finance, legal, and other general corporate support, and for occupancy expenses. These unallocated expenses also include procurement, manufacturing support, and logistics expenses.

In addition, segment contribution does not include amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation, and other expenses that either can vary significantly in amount and frequency, are based upon subjective assumptions, or in certain cases are unplanned for or difficult to forecast, such as restructuring expenses and business combination transaction and integration expenses, all of which are not considered when evaluating segment performance.

Revenue from transactions between our operating segments is not material.

Operating results by segment for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following management’s discussion and analysis is provided to assist readers in understanding our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 20172023 and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in this report. This discussion contains a number of forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and all of which could be affected by uncertainties and risks. Our actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors including, but not limited to, those described under "Cautionary“Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements"Statements”.




Overview


Macroeconomic Conditions

During the three and six months ended July 31, 2023, global macroeconomic conditions were, and continue to be, influenced by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, inflation, instability in the global banking industry, and changes to monetary and fiscal policies by central banks and governments around the world. These items are described further below. We believe that these conditions are increasing the length of our sales cycles, impacting customer and partner spending decisions and have resulted in decreased demand, increased costs, and reduced margins.

Russia-Ukraine War

We continue to monitor events associated with the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its global impacts, including applicable trade compliance or other legal requirements regarding permissible activities in the region. Based on the current situation, we do not believe the Russia-Ukraine conflict has had or will have a material impact on our business and results of operations. However, if the Russia-Ukraine conflict worsens or expands, leading to greater global economic disruptions and uncertainty, our business and results of operations could be materially impacted. Our operations and customers in Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine represented immaterial portions of our net assets as of July 31, 2023 and January 31, 2023, and total revenue for the six months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Workplace Modifications

As a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have adopted a hybrid work model under which the majority of our employees now work from home on a full or part-time basis. As part of our hybrid model, we have also re-opened some of our offices and have contracted for co-working space in certain locations for employees to use as needed, subject to applicable government regulations. Beginning in the year ended January 31, 2022 and continuing into the six months ended July 31, 2023, we decided to exit or reduce our space under certain office leases. We recognized $5.7 million and $6.0 million of accelerated lease expense, including losses on terminations, and other asset impairments, which were reflected within selling, general, and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2023, respectively. We recognized $4.9 million and $12.5 million of accelerated lease expense, including losses on terminations, and other asset impairments, which were reflected within selling, general, and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2022, respectively.

We are in the process of migrating to a new cloud-based IT infrastructure to support the shift to a hybrid work environment and enable us to operate more efficiently. IT charges associated with modifying the workplace, including consolidating and/or migrating data centers and labs to the cloud, simplifying the corporate network, and one-time costs for implementing collaboration tools to enable our hybrid work environment, as well as asset impairment charges and IT facility exit costs were $12.1 million and $0.9 million during the three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $14.9 million and $2.4 million during the six months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which were reflected within selling, general, and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. We also recognized $1.1 million of asset impairment charges related to software licenses that were previously used in research and development as a result of the migration to the cloud and $0.5 million of other costs related to the migration to a new cloud-based IT infrastructure. These charges were reflected within research and development, net expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2023.

Key Trends and Factors That May Impact our Performance


We believe that there are three key market trends that are benefiting Verint today: the acceleration of digital transformation, a changing workforce, and elevated customer expectations.

•Acceleration of Digital Transformation: Digital transformation is accelerating, and it is driving significant change in customer engagement for contact centers and across the enterprise. Long gone are the days when customer journeys were limited to phone calls into a contact center. Today, customer journeys take place across many factorstouchpoints in the enterprise and across many communication and collaboration platforms, including in contact centers, back-office and branch operations, e-commerce, digital marketing, self-service, and customer experience departments, with digital leading the way. Leading brands understand that affect our abilityas digital rises in importance and telephony becomes more commoditized, organizations need to sustainchange business processes and put their primary focus on application capabilities when making customer engagement technology decisions. We believe that the breadth of customer touchpoints across the enterprise and the rapid growth in digital interactions benefit Verint as these trends create demand for new solutions that can increase automation and connect organizational silos to increase efficiency and elevate the customer experience.

•A Changing Workforce: Brands are facing unprecedented challenges when it comes to how they manage their changing workforce. Increasingly, brands are managing employees that may work from anywhere. Providing flexibility for where employees work creates greater challenges in managing and coaching employee teams. And because of the limited resources that are available, brands must drive greater workforce efficiency. They need to find ways to use technology, like AI-powered bots, to augment their workforce. Brands recognize the need to leverage data and automation to achieve greater efficiency. In addition, the importance of employee experience continues to grow, and brands must quickly evolve how they recruit, onboard, and retain employees. We believe that these trends benefit Verint as they create demand for new solutions that can shape the future of work, with a workforce of people and bots working together, increased automation, greater employee flexibility, and a greater focus on the voice of the employees.

•Elevated Customer Expectations:Customer expectations for faster, more consistent, and contextual responses continue to rise and meeting those expectations is becoming increasingly difficult with legacy technology. The proliferation in customer channels and the desire of customers to seamlessly shift between channels creates a more complex customer journey for brands to manage and support. Customers also expect brands to have a deep understanding of the customer’s relationship with that brand — an understanding that is unified across the enterprise, regardless of whether the customer touchpoint is in the contact center, on a website, through a mobile app, in the back-office, or in a branch. To develop that deep understanding, leading brands recognize the need to fuse the data that has traditionally existed in silos across the enterprise and use it to inform and automate the customer experience. We believe that this trend benefits Verint as it creates demand for new solutions that help brands support complex customer journeys and increase both revenueautomation to meet elevated customer expectations.

While we continue to see significant demand for our solutions, including due to the foregoing key trends, we believe that current macroeconomic conditions, as described above, are impacting customer and profitability, including:

Our future growth dependsthese conditions are not estimable at this time and depend, in part, on the continued and increasing acceptance and realization

extent to which these conditions improve or worsen. See the “Risk Factors” under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2023 for further discussion of the valuepossible impact of our product offerings. We believe that organizations in both the enterprisemacroeconomic conditions and security markets want and need Actionable Intelligence solutions to help achieve their customer engagement, enhanced security, and risk mitigation goals.

Evolving technologies and market potential. Our success depends in partother global events on our ability to keep pace with technological changes, customer challenges, and evolving industry standards in our product offerings, successfully developing, launching, and driving demand for new, innovative, high-quality products and services that meet or exceed customer needs, and identifying, entering, and prioritizing areas of growing market potential, while migrating away from areas of commoditization. For example, in our Cyber Intelligence business, stronger and more frequent use of encryption has created significantly greater challenges for our customers and for our solutions to address. In our Customer Engagement business, we see increased interest in cloud-based solutions, as well as pricing pressure on legacy products.
business.


In the enterprise market, we believe that today's customer-centric organizations are increasingly seeking Customer Engagement Optimization solutions that allow them to collect and analyze intelligence across different service channels to gain a better understanding of the performance of their workforce, the effectiveness of their service processes, the quality of their interactions, and changing customer behaviors, as well as to anticipate and prevent information security breaches, effectively authenticate customers, protect personal information, mitigate risk, prevent fraud, and help ensure compliance with evolving legal, regulatory, and internal requirements.

In the security market, we believe that terrorism, criminal activities, cyber-attacks, and other security threats, combined with new and more complex security challenges, including increasingly frequent and sophisticated cyber-attacks and increasingly complex and encrypted communication networks, are driving demand for security and intelligence data mining solutions that can access structured and unstructured data and help analyze, anticipate, prepare, and respond to these threats.

Information technology and government spending. Our growth and results depend in part on general economic conditions and the pace of information technology spending by both commercial and governmental customers. In prior fiscal periods, we began to experience trends related to extended sales cycles, particularly for large projects, a reduction in deal sizes, and pressure in certain areas of our legacy business. We have made adjustments in response to these market trends, some of which we continue to see in areas of our business. We believe that these adjustments together with improvements in the economic environment and demand for our solutions will drive growth in both of our segments in the year ending January 31, 2018.

In our Customer Engagement segment, we have aligned our sales strategy to engage more closely with our customers on their long-term customer engagement optimization strategy and to focus on their near-term priorities and budget constraints, including by emphasizing the flexible and modular nature of our solution portfolio, in which a customer can make an initial purchase anywhere in our portfolio and then expand into other areas over time, or can make a larger, more transformational suite purchase all at once. We have also continued to increase the flexibility of our deployment model, affording our customers the choice of deploying our solutions on-premises or in the cloud, or a hybrid of both, and we also offer a menu of managed services.

In our Cyber Intelligence segment, we believe that our solutions have proven to be highly effective in fighting terrorism and crime, which continues to be a high priority around the world. As a result, we have continued to expand our solutions portfolio to address emerging threats and have designed our solutions to address specific customer needs. We have also provided additional focus on smaller transactions, achieving a better mix of transaction sizes, for both our leading edge and legacy solutions, and have continued to expand our security domain expertise.

Results of Operations
 

Seasonality and Cyclicality
 
As is typical for many software and technology companies, our business is subject to seasonal and cyclical factors. In most years, our revenue and operating income are typically highest in the fourth quarter and lowest in the first quarter (prior to the impact of unusual or nonrecurring items). Moreover, revenue and operating income in the first quarter of a new year may be lower than in the fourth quarter of the preceding year, in some years, by a significant margin. In addition, we generally receive a higher volume of orders in the last month of a quarter, with orders concentrated in the laterlatter part of that month. We believe that these seasonal and cyclical factors primarily reflect customer spending patterns and budget cycles, as well as the impact of incentive compensation plans for our sales personnel. While seasonal and cyclical factors such as these are common in the software and technology industry, this pattern should not be considered a reliable indicator of our future revenue or financial performance. Many other factors, including general economic conditions, may also have an impact on our business and financial results.

Three Months Ended OctoberJuly 31, 20172023 compared to Three Months Ended OctoberJuly 31, 2016.2022. Our revenue increaseddecreased approximately $21.8$12.7 million, or 8%, to $280.7from $222.9 million in the three months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2017 from $258.92022 to $210.2 million in the three months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2016.2023. The increasedecrease consisted of a $15.0$7.3 million increasedecrease in service and supportnonrecurring revenue and a $6.8 million increase in product revenue.  In our Cyber Intelligence segment, revenue increased approximately $13.0 million, or 15%, from $86.1 million in the three months ended October 31, 2016 to $99.1 million in the three months ended October 31, 2017.  The increase consisted of a $7.8 million increase in product revenue and a $5.2 million increase in service and support revenue. In our Customer Engagement segment, revenue increased $8.8 million, or approximately 5%, from $172.7 million in the three months ended October 31, 2016 to $181.5 million in the three months ended October 31, 2017.  The increase consisted of a $9.8 million increase in service and support revenue, partially offset by a $1.0$5.4 million decrease in productrecurring revenue. For additional details on our revenue by segment,category, see "—Revenue by Operating Segment"“—Revenue”. Revenue in the Americas, in Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"(“EMEA”), and in the Asia-Pacific ("APAC"(“APAC”) regions represented approximately 52%68%, 32%21%, and 16%11% of our
35

total revenue, respectively, in the three months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2017,2023, compared to approximately 53%69%, 29%20%, and 18%11%, respectively, in the three months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2016.2022. Further details of changes in revenue are provided below.


We reported an operating incomeloss of $17.8$7.5 million in the three months ended OctoberJuly 31, 20172023 compared to operating income of $5.5$1.5 million in the three months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2016.2022. The increasedecrease in operating income was primarily due to a $13.6$6.5 million increasedecrease in gross profit, from $155.7$147.8 million to $169.3$141.3 million, partially offset byand a $1.3$2.5 million increase in operating expenses, from $150.2$146.3 million to $151.5$148.8 million. The increase in operating expenses consisted of a $6.1$2.7 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and a $0.1 million increase in net research and development expenses, partially offset by a $3.2 million decrease in amortization of other acquired intangible assets, and a $1.6 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses. Further details of changes in operating income are provided below.

Net income attributable to Verint Systems Inc. was $2.5 million, and diluted net income per common share was $0.04, in the three months ended October 31, 2017 compared to net loss attributable to Verint Systems Inc. of $8.2 million, and net loss per common share of $0.13, in the three months ended October 31, 2016.  These improved operating results in the three months ended October 31, 2017 were primarily due to a $12.3 million increase in operating income described above, and an $0.8 million decrease in total other expense, net, partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in provision for income taxes. Further details of these changes are provided below.


A portion of our business is conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and therefore our revenue and operating expenses are affected by fluctuations in applicable foreign currency exchange rates.  When comparing average exchange rates for the three months ended October 31, 2017 to average exchange rates for the three months ended October 31, 2016, the U.S. dollar weakened relative to the euro, resulting in an overall increase in our revenue on a U.S. dollar-denominated basis. Furthermore, the U.S. dollar weakened relative to our Israeli shekel rate (hedged and unhedged), resulting in an overall increase in cost of revenue and operating expenses on a U.S. dollar-denominated basis.  For the three months ended October 31, 2017, had foreign currency exchange rates remained unchanged from rates in effect for the three months ended October 31, 2016, our revenue would have been approximately $2.3 million lower and our cost of revenue and operating expenses on a combined basis would have been approximately $4.2 million lower, which would have resulted in a $1.9 million increase in our operating income.

Nine Months Ended October 31, 2017 compared to Nine Months Ended October 31, 2016. Our revenue increased approximately $50.3 million, or 7%, to $816.5 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2017 from $766.2 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2016. The increase consisted of a $24.9 million increase in product revenue and a $25.4 million increase in service and support revenue.  In our Cyber Intelligence segment, revenue increased approximately $37.7 million, or 15%, from $247.2 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2016 to $284.9 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2017.  The increase consisted of a $26.5 million increase in product revenue and a $11.2 million increase in service and support revenue. In our Customer Engagement segment, revenue increased $12.6 million, or approximately 2%, from $519.0 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2016 to $531.6 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2017.  The increase consisted of a $14.2 million increase in service and support revenue, partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in product revenue. For additional details on our revenue by segment, see "—Revenue by Operating Segment".  Revenue in the Americas, in Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"), and in the Asia-Pacific ("APAC") regions represented approximately 53%, 31%, and 16% of our total revenue, respectively, in the nine months ended October 31, 2017, compared to approximately 54%, 30%, and 16%, respectively, in the nine months ended October 31, 2016. Further details of changes in revenue are provided below.

We reported operating income of $12.4 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2017 compared to an operating loss of $2.0 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2016.  The increased operating income was primarily due to a $23.7 million increase in gross profit, from $459.9 million to $483.6 million, partially offset by a $9.3 million increase in operating expenses, from $461.9 million to $471.2 million. The increase in operating expenses consisted of a $13.1 million increase in net research and development expenses, a $2.5 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a $6.3$0.3 million decrease in amortization of other acquired intangible assets. Further details of changes in operating income are provided below.


Net loss attributable to Verint Systems Inc. common shares was $23.7$11.2 million and diluted net loss per common share was $0.38,$0.17 in the ninethree months ended OctoberJuly 31, 20172023 compared to a net loss attributable to Verint Systems Inc. common shares of $37.4$7.6 million and diluted net loss per common share of $0.60,$0.12 in the ninethree months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2016.2022. The smallerincrease in net loss attributable to Verint Systems Inc. and net loss per common shareshares in the ninethree months ended OctoberJuly 31, 20172023 was primarily due to a $14.4$9.0 million increasedecrease in operating income as discusseddescribed above, a $1.1 million increase in interest income, a $1.0 million increase in net gains on derivative instruments, a $0.5 million increase in net foreign currency gains, a $3.7 million decrease in other expenses, net, and a $0.7 million decrease in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. These were partially offset by a $1.9$5.3 million loss on early retirement of debt, a $4.8 million increasedecrease in our provision for income taxes and a $1.0$0.1 million increasedecrease in interest expense.total other expense, net.

For additional details on our revenue by category, see “—Revenue”. Revenue in the Americas, EMEA, and APAC regions represented approximately 69%, 20%, and 11% of our total revenue, respectively, in the six months ended July 31, 2023, compared to approximately 68%, 21%, and 11%, respectively, in the six months ended July 31, 2022. Further details of changes in revenue are provided below.

We reported operating income of $1.3 million in the six months ended July 31, 2023 compared to operating income of $2.0 million in the six months ended July 31, 2022. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to a $1.2 million increase in operating expenses, from $287.0 million to $288.2 million, partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in gross profit, from $289.0 million to $289.5 million. The increase in operating expenses consisted of a $1.1 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and a $0.9 million increase in net research and development expenses, partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in amortization of other acquired intangible assets.

As of July 31, 2023, we employed approximately 4,100 employees plus a few hundred contractors, as compared to approximately 4,300 employees plus a few hundred contractors at July 31, 2022.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates’ Impact on Results of Operations

A portion of our business is conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and therefore our revenue, cost of revenue, and operating expenses are affected by fluctuations in applicable foreign currency exchange rates. The income statements of our non-U.S. operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates for each applicable month in a period. Revenue denominated in non-U.S. dollar currency was 22% and 21% of our total revenue for the three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Revenue denominated in non-U.S. dollar currency was 21% of our total revenue for each of the six months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022. Our combined cost of revenue and operating expenses denominated in non-U.S. dollar currency were 29% and 31% of our total combined cost of revenue and operating expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our combined cost of revenue and operating expenses denominated in non-U.S. dollar currency was 30% of our total combined cost of revenue and operating expenses for each of the six months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022.

When comparing average exchange rates for the ninethree months ended OctoberJuly 31, 20172023 to average exchange rates for the ninethree months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2016,2022, the U.S. dollar strengthenedweakened relative to the British pound sterling resulting in an overall decrease in our revenue on a U.S. dollar-denominated basis.  Furthermore,and the U.S. dollar weakenedeuro and strengthened relative to our Israeli shekel rate (hedged and unhedged),the Australian dollar, resulting in an overall increase in operatingour revenue and expenses on a U.S. dollar-denominated

basis. For the ninethree months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2017,2023, had foreign currency exchange rates remained unchanged from rates in effect for the ninethree months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2016,2022, our revenue would have been approximately $1.6$0.5 million lower and our cost of revenue and operating expenses on a combined basis would have been approximately $0.1 million lower, which would have resulted in a $0.4 million decrease in our operating income.

When comparing average exchange rates for the six months ended July 31, 2023 to average exchange rates for the six months ended July 31, 2022, the U.S. dollar strengthened relative to the Australian dollar, the British pound sterling, and the Israeli shekel, resulting in an overall decrease in our revenue and expenses on a U.S. dollar-denominated basis. For the six months ended July 31, 2023, had foreign currency exchange rates remained unchanged from rates in effect for the six months ended July 31, 2022, our revenue would have been approximately $2.4 million higher and our cost of revenue and operating expenses on a combined basis would have been approximately $3.0$4.3 million lower,higher, which would have resulted in a $4.6$1.9 million increasedecrease in our operating income.

As of October 31, 2017, we employed approximately 5,000 professionals, including part-time employees and certain contractors, as compared to 4,900 at October 31, 2016.

Customer Engagement Segment

Three Months Ended October 31, 2017 compared to Three Months Ended October 31, 2016. Customer Engagement revenue increased approximately $8.8 million, or 5%, from $172.7 million in the three months ended October 31, 2016 to $181.5 million in the three months ended October 31, 2017.  The increase consisted of a $9.8 million increase in service and support revenue, partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in product revenue. The increase in service revenue was primarily attributable to growth in sales of our cloud-based solutions in the three months ended October 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended October 31, 2016. The decrease in product revenue primarily reflects a modest decrease in product deliveries in the three months ended October 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended October 31, 2016. We continue to experience a shift in our revenue mix from product revenue to service and support revenue as a result of several factors, including a higher component of service offerings in our standard arrangements (including licenses sold through cloud deployment), an increase in services associated with customer product upgrades, and growth in our customer install base.

Nine Months Ended October 31, 2017 compared to Nine Months Ended October 31, 2016. Customer Engagement revenue increased approximately $12.6 million, or 2%, from $519.0 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2016 to $531.6 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2017.  The increase consisted of a $14.2 million increase in service and support revenue, partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in product revenue. The increase in service revenue was primarily attributable to growth in sales of our cloud-based solutions in the nine months ended October 31, 2017 compared to the nine months ended October 31, 2016. The decrease in product revenue primarily reflects a modest decrease in product deliveries in the three months ended October 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended October 31, 2016.

Cyber Intelligence Segment
Three Months Ended October 31, 2017 compared to Three Months Ended October 31, 2016. Cyber Intelligence revenue increased approximately $13.0 million, or 15%, from $86.1 million in the three months ended October 31, 2016 to $99.1 million in the three months ended October 31, 2017.  The increase consisted of a $7.8 million increase in product revenue and a $5.2 million increase in service and support revenue. The increase in product revenue was due to an increase in product deliveries and an increase in progress realized during the current year on projects with revenue recognized using the percentage of completion ("POC") method. The increase in service and support revenue was primarily attributable to increases in progress realized during the current year on projects with revenue recognized using the POC method, and an increase in support revenue from existing customers and other value add services.

Nine Months Ended October 31, 2017 compared to Nine Months Ended October 31, 2016. Cyber Intelligence revenue increased approximately $37.7 million, or 15%, from $247.2 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2016 to $284.9 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2017.  The increase consisted of an $26.5 million increase in product revenue and a $11.2 million increase in service and support revenue. The increase in product revenue was due to an increase in product deliveries and an increase in progress realized during the current year on projects with revenue recognized using the POC method, some of which commenced in previous fiscal years. The increase in service and support revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in progress realized during the current year on projects with revenue recognized using the POC method and growth in sales of our cloud-based solutions, partially offset by a decrease in support revenue from existing customers.

Volume and Price
We sell products in multiple configurations, and the price of any particular product varies depending on the configuration of the product sold. Due to the variety of customized configurations for each product we sell, we are unable to quantify the amount of any revenue changes attributable to a change in the price of any particular product and/or a change in the number of products sold.
Product Revenue and Service and Support Revenue


We derive and report our revenue in two categories: (a) recurring revenue, which includes bundled SaaS, unbundled SaaS, hosting services, optional managed services, initial and renewal support revenue, and product revenue, including licensing of software products and sale of hardware products (which include software that works together with the hardware to deliver the product's essential functionality),warranties, and (b) service and supportnonrecurring revenue, including revenue fromwhich primarily consists of perpetual licenses, hardware, installation services, post-contract customer support, project management, hosting services, software-as-a-service ("SaaS"), product warranties,business advisory consulting and training services, and training services.  For multiple-element arrangements for which we are unable to establish vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") for one or more elements, we use various available indicators of fair value and apply our best judgment to reasonably classify the arrangement's revenue into product revenue and service and support revenue.patent license royalties.

The decrease in support revenue and optional managed services revenue was primarily due to customers migrating to our Customer Engagement segment.bundled SaaS solutions. The increase in SaaS revenue was primarily due to an increase in bundled SaaS revenue due to new customer contracts and existing customers expanding their use of our cloud platform and an increase in unbundled SaaS revenue resulting from support conversion transactions.

For additional information
We expect our revenue mix to continue to shift to our cloud offerings, which is consistent with our cloud-first strategy and a general market shift from on-premises to cloud-based solutions, with an increasing portion of the mix coming from our bundled SaaS offerings. Bundled SaaS revenue is generally recognized ratably over the subscription term, while unbundled SaaS revenue is typically recognized upfront upon delivery of the license keys, or when the license term commences, if later. As a result, our revenue may fluctuate from period to period due to the revenue mix in each period, which is influenced by customer buying preferences. When the percentage of unbundled SaaS to bundled SaaS sold or renewed in a period increases, revenue will generally be higher in that period than if the percentage of bundled SaaS to unbundled SaaS were higher. Additionally, a multi-year unbundled SaaS contract will generally result in greater revenue recognition upfront than a one-year unbundled SaaS contract. While we continue to see "—Revenue by Operating Segment".significant demand for our solutions as our customers accelerate the digitization of their customer interactions and internal operations, we believe that current macroeconomic factors, as described above, are increasing the length of our sales cycles and impacting customer and partner spending decisions.

Cost of productRecurring Revenue

Cost of recurring revenue primarily consists of employee compensation and related expenses for our cloud operations and support teams, contractor costs, cloud infrastructure and data center costs, travel expenses relating to optional managed services and support, and royalties due to third parties for software components that are embedded in our cloud-based solutions. Cost of recurring revenue also includes amortization of capitalized software development costs, stock-based compensation expenses, facility costs, and other allocated overhead expenses.

Three Months Ended July 31, 2023 compared to Three Months Ended July 31, 2022. Cost of recurring revenue decreased approximately $1.3 million, or 3%, from $40.9 million in the three months ended July 31, 2022 to $39.6 million in the three months ended July 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in service and support costs due to lower personnel costs as a result of a decrease in headcount, cost optimization efforts focusing on improvements in utilization of our cloud infrastructure, as well as offshoring certain support activities. Our recurring revenue gross margins were 75% in each of the three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022.

Six Months Ended July 31, 2023 compared to Six Months Ended July 31, 2022. Cost of recurring revenue decreased approximately $2.7 million, or 3%, from $81.9 million in the six months ended July 31, 2022 to $79.2 million in the six months ended July 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in service and support costs due to lower personnel costs as a result of a decrease in headcount, cost optimization efforts focusing on improvements in utilization of our cloud infrastructure, as well as offshoring certain support activities, and a decrease in general overhead expenses due to a reduced number of offices, partially offset by an increase in the amortization of capitalized software development costs. Our recurring revenue gross margins increased from 75% in the six months ended July 31, 2022 to 76% in the six months ended July 31, 2023, primarily due to a favorable change in offering mix as SaaS revenue has higher gross margins than our optional managed services and a decrease in recurring costs as noted above.

We expect our cost of recurring revenue to increase on an absolute basis in future periods as we continue to invest in our cloud operations to support our growing cloud customer base and enhance the security of our solutions.

Cost of Nonrecurring Revenue

Cost of nonrecurring revenue primarily consists of employee compensation and related expenses, contractor costs, travel expenses relating to installation, training and consulting services, hardware material costs, and royalties due to third parties for software components that are embedded in our on-premises software solutions. When revenue is deferred, we also defer hardware material costs and third-party software royalties and recognize those costs over the same period that the product revenue is recognized. Cost of productnonrecurring revenue also includes amortization of capitalized software development costs, employee compensation and related expenses associated with our global operations, facility costs, and other allocated overhead expenses. In our Cyber Intelligence segment, cost of product revenue also includes employee compensation and related expenses, contractor and consulting expenses, and travel expenses, in each case for resources dedicated to project management and associated product delivery.


As with many other technology companies, our software products tend to have higher gross margins than our hardware products, so the mix of products we sell in a particular period can have a significant impact on our gross margins in that period.

This decreaseincrease was primarily attributabledue to an $8.9$11.2 million increase in IT costs and asset impairment charges related to a cloud-based IT infrastructure realignment project and a $0.8 million increase in third-party software components in order to support our hybrid work environment. These increases in SG&A were partially offset by a $5.2 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense primarily due to a decrease in the grant date fair value of equity awards and a shorter vesting schedule for prior period grants which became fully vested in the prior year and the recognition of a $1.8 million impairment charge in the prior year recorded to adjust the carrying amount of an office building we own to its fair value less costs to sell upon classification as held for sale. SG&A was also impacted by a $2.4 million decrease due to a change in the fair value of our obligations under contingent consideration arrangements from a net expense of $2.2 million in the three months ended October 31, 2016 to a net benefit of $6.7 million during the three months ended October 31, 2017.The impact of contingent consideration arrangements on our operating results can vary over time as we revise our outlook for achieving the performance targets underlying the arrangements.  This impact on our operating results may be more significant in some periods than in others, depending on a number of factors, including the magnitude of the change in the outlook for each arrangement separately as well as the number of contingent consideration arrangements in place, the liabilities requiring adjustment in that period, and the net effect of those adjustments.  The benefit recorded during the three months ended October 31, 2017 resulted from revised outlooks to several unrelated arrangements. This decrease was partially offset by a $2.7 million increase in employee compensation expenses due to increased headcount, a $2.4 million increase in contractor expenses, a $2.0 million increase in legal fees, and a $1.0 million increase in stock-based compensation expenses.

Nine Months Ended October 31, 2017 compared to Nine Months Ended October 31, 2016.

This increase was primarily attributable to a $4.4 million increase in contractor expenses, a $3.4 million increase in employee compensation expenses, a $2.8 million increase in legal fees, and a $2.3 million increase stock-based compensation expenses. These increases were partially offset by a $8.6 million decrease in the change in fair value of our obligations under contingent consideration arrangements, from a net expense of $4.8 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2016 to a net benefit of $3.8 million during the nine months ended October 31, 2017, as a result of revised outlooks for achieving the performance targets set forthunder certain contingent consideration arrangements.

These increases in SG&A were partially offset by a $7.8 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense primarily due to a decrease in the grant date fair value of equity awards and a shorter vesting schedule for prior period grants which became fully vested in the prior year, a $6.5 million decrease in accelerated facility costs and asset impairment charges due to the early termination or abandonment of certain office leases in the prior year, a $2.1 million decrease in facilities expenses and depreciation charges as a result of a reduced number of offices, the recognition of a $1.8 million impairment charge in the prior year recorded to adjust the carrying amount of an office building we own to its fair value less costs to sell upon classification as held for sale, and a $1.4 million decrease in marketing-related expenses. SG&A was also impacted by a $2.0 million decrease due to a change in the fair value of our obligations under contingent consideration arrangements as further discussed in the three-month comparison appearing in the previous paragraph. Additionally, selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased an additional $4.7 million as a result of increased capitalization of costs associated with development of internal-use software duringrevised outlooks for achieving the nine months ended October 31, 2017 compared to the nine months ended October 31, 2016.performance targets under certain contingent consideration arrangements.

In the nine months ended October 31, 2017 we entered into a new credit agreement with certain lenders and terminated our prior credit agreement. In connection with these transactions, we recorded a $1.9 million loss on early retirement of debt. There were no comparable charges in the nine months ended October 31, 2016.

We recorded $2.4$0.5 million of net foreign currency gains in the ninethree months ended OctoberJuly 31, 20172022.

Our foreign currency gains in the current period resulted primarily from fluctuations associated with the weakeningexchange rate movement of the U.S. dollar against the euro from January 31, 2017 to October 31, 2017, resulting in foreign currency gains on U.S dollar-denominated net liabilities in certain entities which use a euro functional currency,Israeli shekel and the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the British pound sterling, resulting in foreign currency gains on U.S. dollar-denominated net payables in certain entities which use a British pound sterling functional currency.Brazilian real.

In the nine months ended October 31, 2017, there were net gains on derivative financial instruments (not designated as hedging instruments) of $0.3 million, compared to net losses of $0.7 million on such instruments for the nine months ended October 31, 2016.  The net gains in the current year primarily reflected gains on our interest rate swap agreement, partially offset by losses on contracts executed to hedge movements in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Singapore dollar.

Other net expenses decreased $3.7 million primarily due to a write-off of a $2.4 million cost-basis investment in our Cyber Intelligence segment in the nine months ended October 31, 2016, with no comparable charges in the nine months ended October 31, 2017. Also contributing to the decrease in other net expenses was resolution of a previously accrued sales tax contingency in our APAC region in the nine months ended October 31, 2017.

However, certain projects, particularlyglobal economy, re-allocating taxing rights among countries. The European Union and many other member states have committed to adopting Pillar 2 which calls for a global minimum tax of 15% to be effective for tax years beginning in 2024. The OECD guidelines published to date include transition and safe harbor rules around the implementation of the Pillar 2 global minimum tax. We are monitoring developments and evaluating the impacts these new rules will have on our Cyber Intelligence segment, can extend over longer periods of time, delivery under which,tax rate, including eligibility to qualify for various reasons, may be delayed, modified, or canceled.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary recurring source of cash is the collection of proceeds from the sale of products and services to our customers, including cash periodically collected in advance of delivery or performance.


On December 4, 2019, we announced that an affiliate (the “Apax Investor”) of Apax Partners (“Apax”) would make an investment in us in an amount of up to $400.0 million. Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, dated as of December 4, 2019 (the “Investment Agreement”), on May 7, 2020, the Apax Investor purchased $200.0 million of our Series A convertible preferred stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) with an initial conversion price of $53.50 per share. In accordance with the Investment Agreement, the Series A Preferred Stock did not participate in the Spin-Off distribution of the Cognyte shares and the Series A Preferred Stock conversion price was instead adjusted to $36.38 per share based on the ratio of the relative trading prices of Verint and Cognyte following the Spin-Off. In connection with the completion of the Spin-Off, on April 6, 2021, the Apax Investor purchased $200.0 million of our Series B convertible preferred stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”). The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at a conversion price of $50.25, based in part on our trading price over the 20 trading day period following the Spin-Off. As of July 31, 2023, Apax’s ownership in us on an as-converted basis was approximately 12.9%.

Each series of Preferred Stock pays dividends at an annual rate of 5.2% until May 7, 2024, and thereafter at a rate of 4.0%, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. Dividends will be cumulative and payable semiannually in arrears in cash. All dividends that are not paid in cash will remain accumulated dividends with respect to each share of Preferred Stock. We used the proceeds from the Apax investment to repay outstanding indebtedness, to fund a portion of our stock repurchase programs (as described below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources Requirements”), and/or for general corporate purposes. Please refer to Note 9, “Convertible Preferred Stock”, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report for more information regarding the Apax convertible preferred stock investment.

Our primary recurring use of cash is payment of our operating costs, which consist primarily of employee-related expenses, such as compensation and benefits, as well as general operating expenses for cloud operations, marketing, facilities and overhead costs, and capital expenditures. We also utilize cash for debt service, under our Credit Agreementstock repurchases, dividends on the Preferred Stock, and our Notes, and periodically for business acquisitions. Cash generated from operations, along with our existing cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, are our primary sources of operating liquidity, and we believe that our operating liquidity is sufficient to support our current business operations, including debt service and capital expenditure requirements.liquidity.

On June 29, 2017, we entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “2017 Credit Agreement”) with certain lenders, and terminated our Prior Credit Agreement. The 2017 Credit Agreement provides for $725.0 million of senior secured credit facilities, comprised of a $425.0 million term loan maturing on June 29, 2024 (the “2017 Term Loan”) and a $300.0 million revolving credit facility maturing on June 29, 2022 (the “2017 Revolving Credit Facility”), subject to increase and reduction from time to time according to the terms of the 2017 Credit Agreement. The majority of the proceeds from the 2017 Term Loan were used to repay all $406.9 million owed under the 2014 Term Loans at June 29, 2017 upon termination of the Prior Credit Agreement. There were no borrowings under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility at June 29, 2017. Further discussion of our Credit Agreement appears below, under "Financing Arrangements".


We have historically expanded our business in part by investing in strategic growth initiatives, including acquisitions of products, technologies, and businesses. We may finance such acquisitions using cash, debt, stock, or a combination of the foregoing, however, we have used cash as consideration for substantially all of our historical business acquisitions, including approximately $28.1 million and $72.3$21.9 million of net cash expended for business acquisitionscombinations during the nineyear ended January 31, 2023. There were no business combinations during the six months ended OctoberJuly 31, 20172023 or 2022. In July 2023, we entered into an agreement to acquire source code that qualifies as an asset acquisition and 2016, respectively.made an initial deposit payment of $1.0 million upon the execution of the contract and incurred direct transaction costs related to such asset acquisition of $0.2 million. Please refer to Note 5, “Business Combinations, Asset Acquisitions, and Divestitures”, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report for more information regarding our recent business combinations and asset acquisitions.


We continually examine our options with respect to terms and sources of existing and future short-term and long-term capital resources to enhance our operating results and to ensure that we retain financial flexibility, and may from time to time elect to raise capital through the issuance of additional equity or debtthe incurrence of additional debt. On April 9, 2021, we issued $315.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.25% convertible senior notes due April 15, 2026, unless earlier converted by the holders pursuant to their terms (the “2021 Notes”). We used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2021 Notes to pay the costs of the capped call transactions described below. We also used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2021 Notes, together with the net proceeds from the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock mentioned above, to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under our Credit Agreement, to terminate an interest rate swap agreement, and to repurchase shares of our common stock. The remainder is being used for working capital in the capital markets.and other general corporate purposes.


A considerable portion of our operating income is earned outside the United States. Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and restricted cash, restricted cash equivalents, and restricted bank time deposits (excluding any long-term portions) held by our subsidiaries outside of the United States were $331.6$132.0 million and $282.1$126.0 million as of OctoberJuly 31, 20172023 and January 31, 2017,2023, respectively, and are generally used to fund the subsidiaries’ operating requirements and to invest in growth initiatives, including business acquisitions. These subsidiaries also held long-term restricted cash and cash equivalents, and restricted bank time deposits of $31.5 million and $54.6$0.2 million, at OctoberJuly 31, 20172023 and January 31, 2017, respectively. 2023.

We currently do not anticipate that we will need funds generated fromintend to continue to indefinitely reinvest a portion of the earnings of our foreign operations to fund our domestic operations forsubsidiaries, which, as a result of the next 12 months or for the foreseeable future.2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, may now be repatriated without incurring additional U.S. federal income taxes.


Should other circumstances arise whereby we require more capital in the United States than is generated by our domestic operations, or should we otherwise consider it in our best interests, we could repatriate future earnings from foreign jurisdictions, which could result in higher effective tax rates. If available,As noted above, we currently intend to indefinitely reinvest a portion of the earnings of our NOLs, particularly those in the United States, could reduce potential income tax liabilities that may result from repatriated earnings from foreign jurisdictionssubsidiaries to finance foreign activities. Except to the United States. We generallyextent that earnings of our foreign subsidiaries have been subject to U.S. taxation as of July 31, 2023, we have not provided for deferred income taxestax on the excessoutside basis difference of foreign subsidiaries nor have we provided for any additional withholding or other tax that may be applicable should a future distribution be made from any unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Due to complexities in the laws of the foreign jurisdictions and the assumptions that would have to be made, it is not practicable to estimate the total amount for financial reporting over the tax basis of investments in our foreign subsidiaries because we currently planincome and withholding taxes that would have to indefinitely reinvestbe provided on such earnings outside the United States.earnings.

Capital Allocation Framework

As noted above, after cash utilization required for working capital, capital expenditures, required debt service, and dividends on the Preferred Stock, we expect that our primary usage of cash will be for business combinations, repayment of outstanding indebtedness, and/or stock repurchases under repurchase programs that may be in place from time to time (subject to the terms of our Credit Agreement). Please see the “Liquidity and Capital Resources Requirements” section below for further information about our recent stock repurchase programs.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
 
Net cash provided by operating activities is driven primarily by our net income or loss, as adjusted for non-cash items and working capital changes. Operating activities generated $96.2$63.3 million of net cash during the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2017,2023, compared to $71.7$46.7 million generated during the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2016.2022. Our operating cash flow in the current period increased primarily due to lower operating lease payments as a result of the early termination of several leased offices in the prior year, a partial insurance reimbursement related to certain legal matters that we agreed to settle, with payment from us to the other party occurring in August 2023, and a favorable impact on operating cash flow from changes in operating assets and liabilities compared to the prior period, partially offset by higher combined interest and net income tax payments.


Our cash flow from operating activities can fluctuate from period to period due to several factors, including the timing of our billings and collections, the timing and amounts of interest, income tax and other payments, and our operating results.
 
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities


During the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2017,2023, our investing activities used $88.7$15.8 million of net cash, including $28.1 millionconsisting primarily of net cash utilized for business acquisitions, $27.4$12.9 million of payments for property, equipment and capitalized software development, costs, $3.1a $1.6 million investment in a privately-held company, $0.9 million of net cash utilized for business combinations and asset acquisitions, and $0.8 million of net purchases of short-term investments, and $30.2partially offset by a $0.3 million of net cash used by other investing activities, consisting primarily of a net increasedecrease in restricted cash and bank time deposits during the period. Restricted cash and bank time deposits are typically deposits used to secure bank guarantees in connection with sales contracts, the amounts of which will fluctuate from period to period. However, the net increase in restricted cash and bank time deposits during the nine months ended October 31, 2017 resulted primarily from the deposit of approximately $35.0 million into an escrow account in connection with an immaterial business combination that closed in November 2017. This escrow deposit is classified within restricted cash and bank time deposits at October 31, 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Requirements

Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet anticipated operating costs, required payments of principal and interest, dividends on Preferred Stock, working capital needs, ordinary course capital expenditures, research and development spending, and other commitments for at least the next 12 months.months from the issuance of our consolidated financial statements. Currently, we have no plans to pay any cash dividends on our common stock, which are not permittedsubject to certain restrictions under our Credit Agreement.


Our liquidity could be negatively impacted by a decrease in demand for our products and service and support,services, including the impact of changes in customer buying behavior due to circumstances over which we have no control.control, including, but not limited to, the effects of general economic conditions or geopolitical developments. If we determine to make additional business acquisitions or otherwise require additional funds, we may need to raise additional capital, which could involve the issuance of additional equity or debt securities.securities or an increase in our borrowings under our credit facility.

On March 29, 2016,December 7, 2022, we announced that our board of directors had authorized a sharestock repurchase program for the period from December 12, 2022 until January 31, 2025, whereby we may make up to $150 million in purchases of our outstandingrepurchase shares of common stock over the two years following the date of announcement. Under the share repurchase program, purchases can be made from timein an amount not to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases. The specific timing, price and size of purchases will depend on prevailing stock prices, general market and economic conditions, and other considerations, including the amount of cash generatedexceed, in the U.S. and other potential usesaggregate, $200.0 million during the repurchase period.

During the year ended January 31, 2023, we repurchased approximately 649,000 shares of cash, suchour common stock for a cost of $23.5 million under the current stock repurchase program. During the six months ended July 31, 2023, we repurchased approximately 1,996,000 shares of our common stock at a cost of $74.1 million, including excise tax of $0.4 million, under this program. Our share repurchases in excess of issuances are subject to a 1% excise tax enacted by the IRA. The excise tax of $0.4 million was recognized as acquisitions. Purchases may be made through a Rule 10b5-1 plan pursuant to pre-determined metrics set forth in such plan.

Financing Arrangements


1.50% Convertible Senior2021 Notes


On June 18, 2014,April 9, 2021, we issued $400.0$315.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.50% convertible senior notes due June 1,our 2021 Notes, unless earlier converted by the holders pursuant to their terms. The 2021 Notes are unsecured and pay interest in cash semiannually in arrears at a rate of 1.50%0.25% per annum.


The Notes were issued concurrently with ourWe used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of 5,750,000 shares of common stock, the majority2021 Notes to pay the costs of the combinedCapped Calls described below. We also used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of which were usedthe 2021 Notes, together with the net proceeds from the

The remainder is being used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.


The Notes are unsecured and rank senior in right of payment to our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes; equal in right of payment to our indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively subordinated in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally subordinated to indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries.

The2021 Notes are convertible into at our election, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of both, subject to satisfaction of specified conditions and during specified periods, as described below. If converted, we currently intend to pay cash in respect of the principal amount.

The conversion price of the Notes at any time is equal to $1,000 divided by the then-applicable conversion rate. The Notes have an initial conversion rate of 15.512916.1092 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2021 Notes, which represents an initial effective conversion price of approximately $64.46$62.08 per share, of common stock and would result in the issuance of approximately 6,205,000 shares if all of the Notes were converted. Throughout the term of the Notes, the conversion rate may be adjustedsubject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

Holders may surrender theirevents, and subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. Prior to January 15, 2026, the 2021 Notes for conversion at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 1, 2020,will be convertible only under the following circumstances:

during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2014, if the closing sale price of our common stock, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is more than 130% of the conversion price of the Notes in effect on each applicable trading day;

during the ten consecutive trading-day period following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price for the Notes for each such trading day was less than 98% of the closing sale price of our common stock on such date multiplied by the then-current conversion rate; or

upon the occurrence of specified corporatecertain events as described in the indenture governing the Notes, such as a consolidation, merger, or binding share exchange.

On or after December 1, 2020and during certain periods, and will be convertible thereafter at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date holders may surrender their Notes for conversion regardless of whether any of the foregoing conditions have been satisfied. Holders of the Notes may require us to purchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change” at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

As of October 31, 2017, the Notes were not convertible.

Note Hedges and Warrants

Concurrently with the issuance of the Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions (the "Note Hedges") and sold warrants (the "Warrants"). The combination of the Note Hedges and the Warrants serves to increase the effective initial conversion price for the Notes to $75.00 per share. The Note Hedges and Warrants are each separate instruments from the2021 Notes.

Note Hedges

Pursuant to the Note Hedges, we purchased call options on our common stock, under which we have the right to acquire from the counterparties up to approximately 6,205,000 shares of our common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, at a price of $64.46, which equals the initial conversion price of the Notes. Our exercise rights under the Note Hedges generally trigger upon Upon conversion of the 2021 Notes, andholders will receive cash up to the Note Hedges terminate upon maturity of the Notes, or the first day the Notes are no longer outstanding. The Note Hedges mayaggregate principal amount, with any remainder to be settled inwith cash shares of ouror common stock, or a combination thereof, at our option,election. As of July 31, 2023, the 2021 Notes were not convertible.

Based on the closing market price of our common stock on July 31, 2023, the if-converted value of the 2021 Notes was less than their aggregate principal amount.

Capped Calls

In connection with the issuance of the 2021 Notes, on April 6, 2021 and April 8, 2021, we entered into capped call transactions (the “Capped Calls”) with certain counterparties. The Capped Calls are intended generally to reduce our exposure tothe potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of the 2021 Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 2021 Notes, in the event that at the time of conversion our common stock price exceeds the conversion price, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.

The Capped Calls exercise price is equal to the $62.08 initial conversion price of each of the 2021 Notes, and the cap price is $100.00, each subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Calls. The Capped Calls have the economic effect of increasing the conversion price of the 2021 Notes from $62.08 per share to $100.00 per share. Our exercise rights under the Capped Calls generally trigger upon conversion of the Notes.2021 Notes, and the Capped Calls terminate upon maturity of the 2021 Notes, or the first day the 2021 Notes are no longer outstanding. As of July 31, 2023, no Capped Calls have been exercised.

Pursuant to their terms, the Capped Calls qualify for classification within stockholders’ equity, and their fair value is not remeasured and adjusted, as long as they continue to qualify for stockholders’ equity classification. We paid $60.8approximately $41.1 million for the Note Hedges,Capped Calls, including applicable transaction costs, which was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. As of October 31, 2017, we had not purchased any shares under the Note Hedges.

Warrants

We sold the Warrants to several counterparties. The Warrants provide the counterparties rights to acquire from us up to approximately 6,205,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $75.00 per share. The Warrants expire incrementally on a series of expiration dates beginning in August 2021. At expiration, if the market price per share of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the Warrants, we will be obligated to issue shares of our common stock having a value equal to such excess. The proceeds from the sale of the Warrants were $45.2 million and were recorded as additional paid-in capital. As of October 31, 2017, no Warrants had been exercised and all Warrants remained outstanding.


Credit AgreementsAgreement


On June 29, 2017, we entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “2017 Credit Agreement”)credit agreement with certain lenders and terminated a prior credit agreement. The credit agreement was amended in 2018, 2020, 2021, and 2023, as further described below (as amended, the Prior Credit Agreement.“Credit Agreement”).


The 2017 Credit Agreement currently provides for $725.0 million of senior secured credit facilities, comprised of a $425.0 million term loan maturingoriginally set to mature on June 29, 2024 (the “2017 Term“Term Loan”), and a $300.0 million revolving credit facility maturing on June 29, 2022April 9, 2026 (the “2017“Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility replaced our prior $300.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Prior Revolving Credit Facility”), and is subject to increase and reduction from time to time according to the terms of the 2017 Credit Agreement. The maturity dates of

On April 27, 2023, we repaid the 2017remaining $100.0 million outstanding principal balance on our Term Loan and 2017in full utilizing proceeds from our Revolving Credit Facility, will be accelerated to March 1, 2021 if on such date any Notes remain outstanding.
The majorityalong with $0.5 million of the proceeds from the 2017 Term Loan were used to repay all $406.9accrued interest thereon. As a result, $0.2 million owed under the 2014 Term Loans at June 29, 2017 upon termination of the Prior Credit Agreement. There were no borrowings under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility at June 29, 2017.
As of October 31, 2017, the interest rate on 2017 Term Loan was 3.56%. Taking into account the impact of the original issuance discount and related deferred debt issuance costs the effective interest rate on the 2017 Term Loan was approximately 3.74% at October 31, 2017. As of January 31, 2017 the weighted-average interest rate on the 2014 Terms Loans was 3.58%.
On February 11, 2016, we executed a pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap agreement with a multinational financial institution to partially mitigate risks associated with the variableTerm Loan were written off and are included within interest rateexpense on our term loans, under which we will pay interest at a fixed rate of 4.143% and receive variable interest of three-month LIBOR (subject to a minimum of 0.75%), plus a spread of 2.75%, on a notional amount of $200.0 million. Although the Prior Credit Agreement was terminated on June 29, 2017, the interest rate swap agreement remains in effect, and serves as an economic hedge to partially mitigate the risk of higher borrowing costs under our 2017 Credit Agreement resulting from increases in market interest rates. The interest rate swap agreement is no longer formally designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes, and therefore settlements are reported within other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations not within interest expense.for the six months ended July 31, 2023.


The 2017 Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments of approximately $1.1 million, which commencedInterest rates on August 1, 2017, with the remaining balance due on June 29, 2024. Optional prepayments of loans under the 2017 Credit Agreement are generally permitted without premiumperiodically reset, at our option, originally at either a Eurodollar Rate (which was derived from LIBOR) or penalty.an ABR Rate (each as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus in each case a margin.

On May 10, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) related to the planned phase-out of LIBOR by the UK Financial Conduct Authority. Effective July 1, 2023, borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest, at our option, at either: (i) the alternate base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus the applicable margin therefor (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (ii) the adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate published by the CME Term SOFR Administrator (as more fully defined and set forth in the Credit Agreement, “Adjusted Term SOFR”),
47

plus the applicable margin therefor. The applicable margin in each case is determined based on our Leverage Ratio (as defined below) and ranges from 0.25% to 1.25% for borrowings bearing interest at the alternate base rate and from 1.25% to 2.25% for borrowings bearing interest based on Adjusted Term SOFR.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility were $100.0 million at July 31, 2023, which is included in long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. For borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, the margin is determined by reference to our Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) leverage ratio (the “Leverage Ratio”). As of July 31, 2023, the interest rate on our revolving credit facility borrowings was 6.93%. In addition, we are required to pay a commitment fee with respect to unused availability at rates per annum determined by reference to our Leverage Ratio. The proceeds of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility were used to repay the outstanding balance of the Term Loan.

The 2017 Credit Agreement contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type. The 2017 Credit Agreement also contains a financial covenant that, solely with respect to the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility, requires us to maintain a Leverage Ratio of no greater than 4.504.5 to 1. At OctoberJuly 31, 2017,2023, our Leverage Ratio was approximately 2.81.1 to 1. The limitations imposed by the covenants are subject to certain exceptions as detailed in the 2017 Credit Agreement.

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of our direct and indirect existing and future material domestic wholly owned restricted subsidiaries and are secured by a security interest in substantially all of our assets and the assets of the guarantor subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

The Credit Agreement provides for events of default with corresponding grace periods that we believe are customary for credit facilities of this type. Upon an event of default, all of our obligations owed under the Credit Agreement may be declared immediately due and payable, and the lenders’ commitments to make loans under the Credit Agreement may be terminated.

Contractual Obligations


Our principal commitments primarily consist of long-term debt, dividends on Preferred Stock, leases for office space and open non-cancellable purchase orders. As of July 31, 2023, we believe there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations from those disclosed in Part II, Item 7. — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2017 includes a table summarizing2023. For additional information regarding our contractual obligations of approximately $1.1 billion as of January 31, 2017, including approximately $900 million forleases, long-term debt obligations, including projected future interest. That table appears under Item 7, "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditionour commitments and Results of Operations"contingencies, see Note 17, “Leases”, in the report. As described above under "Financing Arrangements"Form 10-K and Note 7, “Long-Term Debt”, duringNote 9, “Convertible Preferred Stock”, and Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies” in the nine months ended October 31, 2017, we entered into the 2017 Credit Agreement and terminated our Prior Credit Agreement. As a result, our long-term debt obligations, including projected future interest (assuming future interest rates remain consistent with current interest rates), have increased from approximately $900 million at January 31, 2017 to approximately $950 million at October 31, 2017. Details regarding our long-term debt obligations are provided in Note 6, "Long-Term Debt"notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included underin Part I, Item 1 of this report.


Other thanAs of July 31, 2023, our total operating lease liabilities were $39.3 million, of which $6.3 million is included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities (current portions), and $33.0 million is included as operating lease liabilities (long-term portions), on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

It is not our business practice to enter into off-balance sheet arrangements. However, in the impactnormal course of business, we enter into contracts in which we make representations and warranties that guarantee the transactions described above, we believe thatperformance of our contractual obligationsproducts and commercial commitments didservices. Historically, there have been no significant losses related to such guarantees.

Our condensed consolidated balance sheet at July 31, 2023 included $53.5 million of non-current tax reserves (including interest and penalties of $6.0 million), net of related benefits for uncertain tax positions. We do not materially change duringexpect to make any significant payments for these uncertain tax positions within the nine months ended October 31, 2017.next 12 months.

Contingent Payments Associated with Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions
 
In connection with certain of our business combinations, we have agreed to make contingent cash payments to the former owners of the acquired companies based upon the achievement of performance targets following the acquisition dates.


For the ninesix months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2017,2023, we made $9.4$3.1 million of payments under contingent consideration arrangements. As of OctoberJuly 31, 2017,2023, potential future cash payments, and earned consideration expected to be paid, subsequent to OctoberJuly 31, 20172023 under contingent consideration arrangements total $101.8totaled $19.0 million, the estimated fair value of which was $48.7$7.9 million,

including $10.9 of which $5.2 million reported inwas recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and $37.8$2.7 million reported inwas recorded within other liabilities. The performance periods associated with these potential payments extend through January 2022.2026.

48

In July 2023, we entered into an agreement to acquire source code that qualifies as an asset acquisition and provides for additional consideration contingent upon achieving certain performance targets for the years ending January 31, 2025 and 2026 of up to $5.0 million, with a minimum of $2.0 million guaranteed over the period, plus the opportunity to receive additional payments from us based on any revenue we receive from sales of products based on the acquired technology in adjacent markets.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of October 31, 2017, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that we believe have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial condition due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. To manage the volatility relating to interest rate and foreign currency risks, we periodically enter into derivative instruments including foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements. It is our policy to enter intouse derivative transactionsinstruments only to the extent considered necessary to meet our risk management objectives. We use derivative instruments solely to reduce the financial impact of these risks and do not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes.


Interest Rate Risk on Our Debt


On June 29, 2017,In April 2021, we issued $315.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes. Prior to January 15, 2026, the 2021 Notes will be convertible only upon the occurrence of certain events and during certain periods, and will be convertible thereafter at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the 2021 Notes. Upon conversion of the 2021 Notes, holders will receive cash up to the aggregate principal amount, with any remainder to be settled with cash or common stock, or a combination thereof, at our election. Concurrent with the issuance of the 2021 Notes, we entered into the 2017 Credit Agreementcapped call transactions with certain lenders and terminatedcounterparties. These separate transactions were completed to reduce our Prior Credit Agreement.exposure to potential dilution upon conversion of the 2021 Notes.

The 2017 Credit Agreement provides for $725.0 million2021 Notes have a fixed annual interest rate of senior secured credit facilities, comprised0.25% and therefore do not have interest rate risk exposure. However, the fair values of a $425.0 million term loan maturing on June 29, 2024 (the “2017 Term Loan”) and a $300.0 million revolving credit facility maturing on June 29, 2022 (the “2017 Revolving Credit Facility”),the 2021 Notes are subject to increaseinterest rate risk, market risk, and reduction from time to time accordingother factors due to the termsconvertible feature. The fair values of the 2017 Credit Agreement.2021 Notes are also affected by our common stock price. Generally, the fair values of the 2021 Notes will increase as interest rates fall and/or our common stock price increases, and decrease as interest rates rise and/or our common stock price decreases. Changes in the fair values of the 2021 Notes do not impact our financial position, cash flows, or results of operations due to the fixed nature of the debt obligations. We do not carry the 2021 Notes at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet, but we report the fair value of the 2021 Notes for disclosure purposes.


Interest rates on loans under the 2017 Credit Agreement are periodically reset, at our option, originally at either a Eurodollar Rate or an ABR rateRate (each as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement), plus, in each case, a margin. On May 10, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) related to the planned phase-out of LIBOR by the UK Financial Conduct Authority. Effective July 1, 2023, borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest, at our option, at either: (i) the alternate base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus the applicable rate margin therefor (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (ii) the adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate published by the CME Term SOFR Administrator (as more fully defined and set forth in the Credit Agreement, “Adjusted Term SOFR”), plus the applicable margin therefor. The applicable margin in each case is determined based on our leverage ratio (described above) and ranges from 0.25% to 1.25% for borrowings bearing interest at the 2017alternate base rate and from 1.25% to 2.25% for borrowings bearing interest based on Adjusted Term SOFR.

On April 27, 2023, we repaid in full the remaining $100.0 million outstanding principal balance related to our Term Loan is fixed at 2.25% for Eurodollar loans, and at 1.25% for ABR loans.with $100.0 million of proceeds from borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. For loans under the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility, the margin is determined by reference to our Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement) leverage ratio. Because the interest rates applicable to borrowings under the 2017 Credit Agreement are variable, we are exposed to market risk from changes in the underlying index rates, which affect our cost of borrowing.

As of OctoberJuly 31, 2017,2023, the interest rate on 2017 Term Loan was 3.56%. There were noour $100.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the 2017our Revolving Credit Facility at that date.

To partially mitigate risks associated with the variablewas 6.93%. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates during any of the periods presented would not have had a material impact on our financial statements.

Inflation Risk

While we continue to see significant demand for our solutions as our customers accelerate the term loan borrowings underdigitization of their customer interactions and internal operations, we believe that current macroeconomic factors, including increased inflation rates, are impacting customer and partner spending decisions. Given the current macroeconomic environment, we continue to look for ways to manage costs and mitigate any changes in our Prior Credit Agreement,customers’ purchasing behavior that may occur due to significant inflationary pressure or other factors. If our costs, in February 2016particular labor, sales and marketing, and cloud hosting costs, become subject to sustained or increased inflationary pressure, we executed a pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap agreement with a multinationalmay be unable to fully offset such higher costs through price increases, which could harm our business, financial institution under which we pay interest at a fixed ratecondition, and results of 4.143% and receive variable interest of three-month LIBOR (subject to a minimum of 0.75%), plus a spread of 2.75%, on a notional amount of $200.0 million. Although the Prior Credit Agreement was terminated on June 29, 2017, the interest rate swap agreement remains in effect, and serves as an economic hedge to partially mitigate the risk of higher borrowing costs under our 2017 Credit Agreement resulting from increases in market interest rates. The interest rate swap agreement is no longer formally designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes, and therefore settlements are reported within other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations, not within interest expense.operations.

Settlements with the counterparty under the interest rate swap agreement occur quarterly, and the agreement will terminate on September 6, 2019.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act,Act) as of OctoberJuly 31, 2017.2023. Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified by the rules and forms promulgated by the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As a result of this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of OctoberJuly 31, 2017.2023.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended OctoberJuly 31, 2017,2023, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls


Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be achieved. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the impact of resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the possibility that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by individual acts, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all possible conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
