Ra`anana, Israel, August 01, 2007 - NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE), the global provider of advanced solutions that enable organizations to extract Insight from Interactions(TM) to drive performance, today announced results for the second quarter of 2007.

 

Second quarter 2007 non-GAAP revenue reached a record $127.1 million, representing a 30% increase from $97.7 million in the second quarter of 2006.

 

Non-GAAP gross margin in the second quarter 2007 was 63.0%, or $80.1 million, up from 59.8%, or $58.4 million respectively, in the second quarter of 2006.  

 

Non-GAAP operating margin in the second quarter 2007 was 16.8%, up from 14.9% in the second quarter 2006. Operating income in the second quarter 2007 increased by 46% to $21.4 million from $14.6 million in the second quarter of 2006.

 

Second quarter 2007 non-GAAP net income reached a record $19.7 million, representing a 35% increase from $14.6 million in the second quarter of 2006. Non-GAAP earnings per fully diluted share for the quarter were a record $0.36, up from $0.28 in the second quarter of 2006.  

 

Second quarter 2007 operating cash flow was $17.4 million.  Total cash and equivalents as of June 30, 2007 reached $356.4 million, compared with $335.2 million as of March 31, 2007.  

 

Non-GAAP results for the second quarter 2007 exclude the fair value adjustment on acquired deferred revenues of $0.6 million net of taxes, the amortization of acquired intangible assets of $3.3 million, net of taxes and stock based compensation expenses of $4.7 million, net of taxes.

 

On a GAAP basis: Second quarter 2007 revenue was $126.2 million, up from $97.7 million in the second quarter of 2006. Second quarter 2007 gross margin was 60.3%, compared with 58.2% in the second quarter of 2006; operating profit was $11.2 million, compared with operating profit of $9.8 million, in the second quarter of 2006; and second quarter 2007 net income was $11.2 million, or $0.21 per fully diluted share, compared with net income of $10.8 million, or $0.21 per share, on a fully diluted basis, for the second quarter of 2006.  

 

Commenting on the results, Haim Shani, Chief Executive Officer of NICE said, "NICE continued to generate record results in the second quarter, reflecting the ongoing and strong demand for our Insight from Interactions solutions, both in the enterprise and security sectors, demonstrating the successful execution of our growth strategy."

 

Mr. Shani continued, "Last month we announced a major milestone in our growth strategy with the acquisition of Actimize. We are pioneering convergence of transaction and interaction analytics and spearheading a paradigm shift in how organizations mitigate risk and drive performance across the enterprise. Looking ahead, we intend to continue complementing NICE`s organic growth with acquisitions, to further extend our global reach, expand our technology and solutions, broaden our customer base, and increase our distribution channels in the markets in which we operate."

Guidance for third quarter and year 2007:

 

Third quarter 2007 non-GAAP revenue is expected to be in the range of $127 - $131 million, and non-GAAP EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.36 - $0.40 per fully diluted share.  

 

The Company is raising previously announced full year guidance for 2007, with non-GAAP revenues in the range of $511 -$520 million, up from $497 - $514 million. The company is also raising annual non-GAAP EPS to the range of $1.36 - $1.44, up from $1.31 - $1.42 per fully diluted share. Guidance for year 2007 assumes consolidation of Actimize`s financial results in the fourth quarter of 2007.

 

Conference Call

NICE will host a conference call to discuss the results and its business outlook today at 8:30 a.m. EST (15:30 Israel).  Participants may access the conference call by dialing US toll-free +1-888-281-1167 or +1-800-994-4498; international: +972-3-918-0610; Israel: 03-918-0610.  The call will also be broadcast live on the internet via NICE's website at www.nice.com .  A telephone replay will be available for up to 72 hours, starting from three hours after the call, by dialing one of the following numbers: US Toll-free: + 1-888-326-9310; international: + 972-3-925-5930; Israel: 03-925-5930.

 

Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude: amortization of acquired intangible assets, in−process research and development write−off, stock based compensation expenses, as well as certain business combination accounting entries.  The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of our performance exclusive of non−cash charges and other items that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures, and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Business combination accounting rules requires us to recognize a legal performance obligation related to a revenue arrangement of an acquired entity. The amount assigns to that liability should be based on its fair value at the date of acquisition. The non-GAAP adjustment is intended to reflect the full amount of such revenue. We believe this adjustment is useful to investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of our business. We believe these non−GAAP financial measures provide consistent and comparable measures to help investors understand our current and future operating cash flow performance. These non−GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non−GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

Reconciliation between the results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Consolidated Statement of Operations (Non-GAAP Basis).
