Spin-Off of Cognyte Software Ltd.

On February 1, 2021, we completed the previously announced spin-off (the “Spin-Off”) of Cognyte Software Ltd. (“Cognyte”), a company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel whose business and operations consist of our former Cyber Intelligence Solutions business. The Spin-Off of Cognyte was completed by way of a pro rata distribution in which holders of Verint’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, received 1one ordinary share of Cognyte, no par value, for every share of common stock of Verint held of record as of the close of business on January 25, 2021. After the distribution, we do not beneficially own any ordinary shares of Cognyte and no longer consolidate Cognyte into our financial results for periods ending after January 31, 2021. The Spin-Off was intended to be generally tax-free to our stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

In connection with the Spin-Off, we and Cognyte entered into a separation and distribution agreement as well as various other agreements that provide a framework for the relationships between the parties going forward, including among others an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement, and a transition services agreement, pursuant to which we and Cognyte agreed to provide and/or make available various administrative services and assets to each other for a given period based on each individual service. The performance of services under the transition services agreement was substantially concluded as of January 31, 2022, with only minimal advisory services continuing as of April 30, 2022.

Apax Convertible Preferred Stock Investment

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”). 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 (the “Series B Preferred Stock” and together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”). As of April 30, 2022,2023, Apax’s ownership in us on an as-converted basis was approximately 13.0%. Please refer to Note 9, “Convertible Preferred Stock” for a more detailed discussion of the Apax investment.

Preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 20222023 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), except for the recently adopted accounting pronouncements described below. The condensed
8

Table of Contents
consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss) income,, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the periods ended April 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2022,2023, 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, 20222023 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2022.2023. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted

Table of Contents
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Because the condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for a complete set of financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 20222023 filed with the SEC. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year’s results.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Verint Systems Inc., and our wholly owned or otherwise controlled 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’ equity.

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 identical or similar investment of the same issuer, less any impairment.

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

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.

In light of the currently unknown extent and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, we face a greater degree of uncertainty than normal in making the judgments and estimates needed to apply to certain of our significant accounting policies. We assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information in context with the information reasonably available to us and the unknown future impacts of COVID-19 as of April 30, 2022 and through the date of this report. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies during the three months ended April 30, 2022,2023, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2022.2023.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In MayOctober 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. We adopted this standard as of February 1, 2022, and the adoption did not have any impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements, as the effect will largely depend on the terms of written call options or financings issued or modified in the future.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU No. 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP if certain criteria are met to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another

Table of Contents
reference rate expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued Update 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope. The update provides additional optional guidance on the transition from LIBOR to include derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment. The standard will ease, if warranted, the requirements for accounting for the future effects of the rate reform. An entity may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. A portion of our indebtedness bears interest at variable interest rates, primarily based on euro-dollar LIBOR. We continue to monitor the impact of the discontinuance of LIBOR or another reference rate will have on our contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions. We are currently assessing the impact of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which will require companiesadds contract assets and contract liabilities to the list of exceptions to the recognition and measurement principles that apply the definition of a performance obligation under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to business combinations and requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities relating to contracts with customers that are acquired in a business combination. Under current GAAP, an acquirer generally recognizes assets acquiredcombination in accordance with revenue recognition guidance. We adopted this standard on a prospective basis for the annual and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including contract assets and contract liabilities arising from revenue contracts with customers, at fair value on the acquisition date. ASU No. 2021-08 will result in the acquirer recording acquired contract assets and liabilities on the same basis that would have been recorded by the acquiree before the acquisition under ASC Topic 606. ASU No. 2021-08 is effective for fiscal yearsinterim periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with earlyFebruary 1, 2023. The adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard did not have any impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements butas 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 December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which extends the period of time entities can utilize the reference rate reform relief guidance under ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. We expect to elect various optional expedients for contract modifications related to financial instruments affected by the reference rate reform through the effective date of December 31, 2024, as extended by ASU 2022-06. The application of this guidance did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In 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 three months ended April 30, 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.

There are no new accounting pronouncements not yet adopted or effective that are expected to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.


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 software passes to our customers or the services are provided, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for such goods or services. Revenue 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 a contract when it has approval and commitment 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 depends on a number of factors including contractual periods and customers' renewal decisions.

Recurring revenue primarily consists of:
Cloud revenue, which consists primarily of software as a service (“SaaS”) revenue and optional managed services revenue.
SaaS revenue 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 our software with related support for a specific period).
Bundled SaaS revenue is recognized over time.
Unbundled SaaS revenue is recognized at a point in time, except for the related 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.

We receive payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules, and accounts receivable are 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 conditional 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 billing 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 the three months ended April 30, 20222023 and 2021.2022. As of April 30, 2022,2023, 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 20%22% and Partner B was approximately 11%15%. As of January 31, 2022,2023, Partner A and Partner B each accounted for approximately 14% and Partner B accounted for less than 10%15% of our aggregated accounts receivable and contract assets. Credit losses relating to these customers have historically been immaterial.

Contract liabilities represent consideration received or consideration which is unconditionally due from customers prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of the contract. Revenue recognized during the three months ended April 30, 20222023 and 20212022 from amounts included in contract liabilities at the beginning of each period was $96.9$101.5 million and $97.6$96.9 million, respectively.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations (“RPO”) 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 arrangements are for periods of up to 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.

In periods for which we report a net loss attributable to Verint Systems Inc., common shares, basic net loss per common share and diluted net loss per common share are identical since the effect of all potential common shares is anti-dilutive and therefore excluded.

For the three months ended April 30, 2022,2023, the average price of our common stock did not exceed the $62.08 per share conversion price of our 2021 Notes (as defined in Note 7, “Long-Term Debt”), and other requirements for the 2021 Notes to be
11

Table of Contents
convertible were not met. The 2021 Notes will have a dilutive impact on net income per common share at any time when the average market price of our common stock for a quarterly reporting period exceeds the conversion price.

The Capped Calls (as defined in Note 7, “Long-Term Debt”) do not impact our diluted earnings per common share calculations as their effect would be anti-dilutive. The Capped Calls are generally intended to reduce the 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 $62.08 conversion price, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap of $100.00.

Following the completion of the Spin-Off on February 1, 2021, the strike prices of the conversion features of our 2014 Notes and Warrants (each as defined in Note 7, “Long-Term Debt”) were reduced to $40.55 per share and $47.18 per share, respectively, which increased the equivalent number of underlying common shares to 9,541,000 and 9,865,000, respectively.

Our Note Hedges (as defined in Note 7, “Long-Term Debt”) did not impact our diluted earnings per common share calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive. However, in connection with the maturity of the 2014 Notes, the common shares delivered to us under the Note Hedges neutralized the dilutive effect of the common shares that we issued under the 2014 Notes to settle the conversion premium. As a result, the settlement of the outstanding 2014 Notes did not increase our outstanding common stock.

Our Warrants had a dilutive impact on net income per common share to the extent that we reported net income for the applicable period and the average market value of our common stock exceeded the strike price of the Warrants. The Warrants expired incrementally on a series of expiration dates between August 30, 2021 and January 21, 2022. At each expiration date the Warrants were exercised when the market price per share of our common stock exceeded the strike price of the Warrants, and we issued an aggregate of 293,143 shares of our common stock as part of the cashless exercise of approximately 5,031,000 Warrants. All outstanding Warrants were exercised or expired as of January 31, 2022.

Further details regarding the 2021 Notes and Capped Calls 2014 Notes, Note Hedges, and the Warrants appear in Note 7, “Long-Term Debt”.

On December 4, 2019, we announced that the Apax Investor would invest up to $400.0 million in us in the form of convertible preferred stock. On May 7, 2020, the purchase of $200.0 million of our Series A Preferred Stock closed. On April 6, 2021, in connection with the completion of the Spin-Off, the Apax Investor purchased $200.0 million of our Series B Preferred Stock. The weighted-average common shares underlying the assumed conversion of the Preferred Stock, on an as-converted basis, were excluded from the calculations of diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended April 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Further details regarding the Preferred Stock investment appear in Note 9, “Convertible Preferred Stock”.

5.    BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Three Months Ended April 30, 20222023

We did not complete any business combinations during the three months ended April 30, 2022.2023.

Year Ended January 31, 20222023

Conversocial LimitedDuring the year ended January 31, 2023, we completed two business combinations:

OnIn August 23, 2021,2022, we completed the acquisition of alla company with conversational AI technology including six employees.
In January 2023, we completed the acquisition of the outstanding sharesa provider of Conversocial Limited (together with its subsidiaries, “Conversocial”), a leading messaging platform that enables brandsappointment scheduling solutions including approximately 20 employees.

These business combinations were not material to deliver superior customer experiences. Conversocial has offices in London, United Kingdom and New York, New York.our consolidated financial statements.

The purchase price consistedcombined consideration for these business combinations was approximately $38.4 million, including $26.1 million of (i) $53.4 million ofcombined cash paid at closing, funded from cash on hand,the closings, contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $12.2 million, and purchase price adjustments of $0.1 million. The combined consideration was partially offset by $3.2$4.2 million of Conversocial’scombined cash received in the acquisitions. The contingent consideration had a maximum payout amount of approximately $21.4 million as of the respective acquisition resulting in netdates, and is contingent upon the achievement of certain performance targets over periods extending through January 2026. Cash paid for these business combinations was funded by cash consideration at closing of $50.2 million; and (ii) $0.2 million of other purchase price adjustments. The purchase price for Conversocial was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date, with the remaining unallocated purchase price recorded as goodwill. The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired were

AmongThe combined purchase prices were allocated to intangible assets, including the recognition of $6.0 million of developed technology, $4.2 million of customer relationships, and $0.1 million of trade names. The acquisitions resulted in the recognition of $25.6 million of goodwill, of which $5.1 million is deductible for income tax purposes and $20.5 million is not deductible. Included among the factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill as a component of the Conversocial purchase price allocationin these transactions were synergies in products and technologies, and the addition of a skilled, assembled workforce. The acquisition resulted in the recognition of $31.6workforces. We incurred approximately $0.2 million of goodwill, of which $0.5 million is deductible for income tax purposes and $31.1 million is not deductible.

In connection with the purchase price allocation for Conversocial, 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 calculated 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 $3.4 million of current and long-term contract liabilities, 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 been received, we recorded a $1.2 million asset as a component of the purchase price allocation, representing the estimated fair value of these obligations, $0.7 million of which is included within prepaid expenses and other current assets and $0.5 million of which is 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 attributable to the acquisition of Conversocial, consisting primarily of professional feeswhich were recorded as selling, general, and integrationadministrative expenses were $0.9 million for the three months ended April 30, 2022, and were expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.2023.

Revenue and net income (loss) attributable to Conversocial included in our consolidated statement of operationsthese acquisitions for the three months ended April 30, 2022 was2023 were not material.

The purchase price allocation for Conversocial has been prepared on a preliminary basis and changes to the allocation may occur as additional information becomes available during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). Fair values still under review include values assigned to identifiable intangible assets, deferred income taxes, and reserves for uncertain income tax positions.

The following table sets forth the components and the allocation of the purchase price for our acquisition of Conversocial, including adjustments identified subsequent to the valuation date, none of which were material:

The acquired customer relationships, developed technology, and trademarks and trade names were assigned estimated useful lives of seven years, five years, and one year, respectively, the weighted average of which is approximately 5.9 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 Combinations

Year Ended January 31, 2022

During the three months ended July 31, 2021, we completed the acquisition of certain assets from a leader in contact center hiring automation that qualified as a business combination. This transaction resulted in increases to goodwill, customer relationships, and acquired technology intangible assets, but was not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements, and as a result, additional business combination disclosures for this acquisition have been omitted. There were no other business combinations during the year ended January 31, 2022.

Other Business Combination Information

For the three months ended April 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, we recorded a benefit of $0.2 million and a charge of $0.2 million and benefit of $0.2 million, respectively, within selling, general and administrative expenses for changes in the fair values of contingent consideration obligations associated with business combinations, which was based on our historical business combinations achieving certain objectives and milestones. The aggregate fair values of the remaining contingent consideration obligations associated with business combinations was $4.8$12.9 million at April 30, 2022,2023, of which $7.1 million was recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and $5.8 million was recorded within other liabilities.

Payments of contingent consideration earned under these agreements were $2.7$0.3 million and $7.6$2.7 million for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Divestiture

In March 2023, we completed the sale of an insignificant product line that we inherited as part of a legacy acquisition and 2021, respectively.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 beginning July 2023, and through March 2025. 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 income, net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

2021 Notes

On April 9, 2021, we issued $315.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.25% convertible senior notes due April 15, 2026 (the “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 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 call transactionsCapped 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 our Credit Agreement described below, to terminate an interest rate swap, agreement, and to repurchase shares of our common stock. The remainder is being used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The 2021 Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate of 16.1092 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2021 Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $62.08 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, 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 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. As of April 30, 2022,2023, the 2021 Notes were not convertible.

We incurred approximately $8.9 million of issuance costs in connection with the 2021 Notes, which were deferred and are presented as a reduction of long-term debt, and which are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the 2021 Notes.

Table of Contents
Including the impact of the deferred debt issuance costs, the effective interest rate on the 2021 Notes was approximately 0.83% at April 30, 2022.2023.

Based on the closing market price of our common stock on April 30, 2022,2023, the if-converted value of the 2021 Notes was less than their aggregate principal amount.

2014 Notes

On June 18, 2014, we issued $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.50% convertible senior notes, with a maturity date of June 1, 2021 (the “2014 Notes”). Net proceeds from the 2014 Notes after underwriting discounts were $391.9 million. The 2014 Notes were unsecured and paid interest in cash semiannually in arrears at a rate of 1.50% per annum.

During the three months ended July 31, 2020, we repurchased $13.1 million principal amount of the 2014 Notes (the “Repurchased 2014 Notes”) in open market transactions for an aggregate of $13.0 million in cash, resulting in a debt extinguishment loss of $0.1 million, and a $0.2 million charge to additional paid-in-capital.

In connection with the maturity of the 2014 Notes on June 1, 2021, we paid an aggregate of $389.8 million in cash for the settlement of the 2014 Notes, which included $386.9 million in satisfaction of the outstanding principal of the 2014 Notes and $2.9 million related to the final interest payment on the 2014 Notes. We funded the repayment of the outstanding principal amount of the 2014 Notes and accrued interest thereon using cash we had placed in escrow on February 26, 2021. Additionally, the 2014 Notes had an incremental conversion value of $57.7 million as the market value per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the 2014 Notes, was greater than the conversion price of the 2014 Notes. We issued approximately
18

Table of Contents
1,250,000 shares of common stock to the holders of the 2014 Notes as payment of the conversion premium, which we issued from treasury stock.

Capped Calls, Note Hedges and Warrants

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 generally intended to reduce the 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. Our exercise rights under the Capped Calls generally trigger upon conversion of the 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 April 30, 2022,2023, 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 approximately $41.1 million for the Capped Calls, including applicable transaction costs, which was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.

Note Hedges and Warrants

Concurrently with the issuance of the 2014 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 served to increase the effective initial conversion price for the 2014 Notes to $75.00 per share. Subsequent to the Spin-Off, as a result of conversion rate adjustments, the Note Hedges and the Warrants served to increase the effective conversion price for the 2014 Notes to $47.18 per share. The Note Hedges and Warrants were each separate instruments from the 2014 Notes.

Note Hedges

Pursuant to the Note Hedges, we purchased call options on our common stock, under which we had 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 equaled the initial conversion price of the 2014 Notes. As a result of the Spin-Off, on February 1, 2021, the call options on our stock were adjusted to allow us to purchase up to 9,865,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $40.55, which was equal to the adjusted conversion price of the 2014 Notes. We were permitted to settle the Note Hedges in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination thereof, at our option, and the Note Hedges were intended to reduce our exposure to potential dilution upon conversion of the 2014 Notes. We paid $60.8 million for the Note Hedges, which was recorded as a charge to additional paid-in capital. Our exercise rights under the Note Hedges were automatically triggered upon conversion of any 2014 Notes and the Note Hedges otherwise terminated upon maturity of the 2014 Notes on June 1, 2021. In connection with the maturity of the 2014 Notes on June 1, 2021, we received approximately 1,250,000 shares of our common stock from the counterparties under the Note Hedges, which offset the dilution resulting from the stock settlement of the conversion premium on the 2014 Notes as the market value per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the Note Hedges, was greater than the strike price of the Note Hedges.

The Repurchased 2014 Notes acquired during the three months ended July 31, 2020 as described above did not change the number of common shares subject to the Note Hedges as the counterparties agreed that the options under the Note Hedges remained outstanding notwithstanding such repurchase. Upon maturity of the 2014 Notes, we received approximately 42,000 shares of our common stock from the counterparties to the Note Hedges as reimbursement for the in-the-money portion of the Repurchased 2014 Notes.

Warrants

We sold the Warrants to several counterparties. The Warrants initially provided 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. As a result of the Spin-Off, the terms of the Warrants were adjusted to provide the counterparties the rights to acquire from us up to approximately 9,865,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $47.18 per share. Proceeds from the sale of the Warrants were $45.2 million and were recorded
19

Table of Contents
as additional paid-in capital. The Warrants expired incrementally on a series of expiration dates between August 30, 2021 and January 21, 2022. At each expiration date, the Warrants were exercised when the market price per share of our common stock exceeded the strike price of the Warrants, and we issued an aggregate of 293,143 shares of our common stock as part of the cashless exercise of approximately 5,031,000 Warrants. The Warrants had a dilutive effect on net income per share to the extent that the average market value of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the Warrants, exceeded the strike price of the Warrants. All outstanding Warrants were exercised or expired as of January 31, 2022.

The Note Hedges and Warrants both qualified for classification within stockholders’ equity, and therefore no changes to their respective fair values were recorded in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for any period.

Credit Agreement

Credit Agreement

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

The 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 “Term Loan”), of which $100.0 million was outstanding at April 30, 2022 and January 31, 2022, and a $300.0 million revolving credit facility maturing on April 9, 2026 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), none of which was drawn as of April 30, 2022 and January 31, 2022.. 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 Credit Agreement. The majority of the proceeds from the Term Loan were used to repay all outstanding term loans under our prior credit agreement.

The Term Loan was subject to an original issuance discountOptional prepayments of approximately $0.5 million, which is being amortized as interest expense over the term of the Term Loan using the effective interest method.

Interest rates on loans under the Credit Agreement are periodically reset, at our option, at either a Eurodollar Rategenerally permitted without premium or an ABR Rate (each as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus in each case a margin. On January 31, 2018, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “2018 Amendment”) providing for, among other things, a reduction of the interest rate margins on the Term Loan from 2.25% to 2.00% for Eurodollar loans, and from 1.25% to 1.00% for ABR loans.

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 Loan, reducing the outstanding 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 our Revolving Credit Facility, along with $0.5 million of accrued interest thereon. As a result, $1.8$0.2 million of combined deferred debt issuance costs and $0.2 million of unamortized discount associated with the Term Loan were written off and are included within losses on early retirements of debtinterest expense on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2021. Optional prepayments of2023.

Interest rates on loans under the 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 April 9, 2021,May 10, 2023, we amended the Credit Agreement (the “2021 Amendment”), pursuant to which we replaced the Prior Revolving Credit Facility, which would otherwise have matured on June 29, 2022, with the current $300.0 million Revolving Credit Facility maturing on April 9, 2026.

The maturity dates of the Term Loan and Prior Revolving Credit Facility would have been accelerated to March 1, 2021 if on such date any 2014 Notes remained outstanding, unless such outstanding 2014 Notes were cash collateralized pursuant to a secondentered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “2020“Fourth Amendment”), entered into on June 8, 2020. Pursuant related to the 2020 Amendment, we were permitted to effectplanned phase-out of LIBOR by the Spin-Off withinUK Financial Conduct Authority. Effective July 1, 2023, borrowings under the parametersCredit 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, as amended.“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 alternate base rate and from 1.25% to 2.25% for borrowings bearing interest based on Adjusted Term SOFR.

As of April 30, 2022,Borrowings outstanding under the interest rate on the Term Loan was 2.46%. Taking into account the impact of the original issuance discount and related deferred debt issuance costs, the effective interest rate on the Term Loan was approximately 2.66%Revolving Credit Facility were $100.0 million at April 30, 2022. As of January 31, 2022, the interest rate2023, which is included in long-term debt on the Term Loan was 2.10%.

leverage ratio (the "Leverage Ratio"). As of April 30, 2023, the interest rate on our revolving credit facility borrowings was 6.52%. In addition, under the Revolving Credit Facility, we are required to pay a commitment fee with respect to unused availability under the Revolving Credit Facility at rates per annum determined by reference to our Leverage Ratio. The proceeds of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for our working capital and general corporate purposes, including for permitted acquisitions and permitted stock repurchases, and the repayment of term loans, if any.

Table of Contents
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 contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type. The Credit Agreement also contains a financial covenant that, solely with respect to the 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 Credit Agreement.

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.

Credit Agreement Issuance and Amendment Costs

We incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $6.8 million in connection with the Credit Agreement, of which $4.1 million were associated with the Term Loan, and $2.7 million were associated with the Prior Revolving Credit Facility, which were deferred and are being amortized as interest expense over the terms of the facilities. During the year ended January 31, 2018, we wrote off $0.2 million of deferred debt issuance costs associated with the Term Loan as a result of the 2018 Amendment. During the year ended January 31, 2021, we incurred $2.1 million of debt modification costs related to the 2020 Amendment, $1.2 million of which were expensed, and $0.9 million of which were deferred (comprised of $0.5 million associated with the Term Loan, and $0.4 million associated with the Prior Revolving Credit Facility), and which are being amortized along with the previously deferred debt issuance costs.

At the time of the 2021 Amendment, there were $1.3 million of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs associated with the Prior Revolving Credit Facility, of which $0.8 million were associated with commitments under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility provided by lenders that are continuing to provide commitments under the current Revolving Credit Facility and therefore continued to be deferred, and which are now being amortized over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility. The remaining $0.5 million of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs associated with the Prior Revolving Credit Facility were written off and are included within losses on early retirements of debt on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2021. We incurred $1.5 million of debt modification costs related to the 2021 Amendment, all of which are associated with the Revolving Credit Facility, which have been deferred and are being amortized along with the previously deferred debt issuance costs over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility.

Deferred debt issuance costs associated with the Term Loan are beingwere amortized using the effective interest rate method, and deferred debt issuance costs associated with the Revolving Credit Facility are being amortized on a straight-line basis.

Future Principal Payments on the Term Loan

As a result of the significant Term Loan principal payments made during the three months ended April 30, 2021, no further principal payments are required prior to the maturity of the Term Loan on June 29, 2024.

Interest Expense

The following table presents the components of interest expense incurred on the 2021 Notes the 2014 Notes, and on borrowings under our Credit Agreement, for the three months ended April 30, 20222023 and 2021:2022:

On April 13, 2021, we paid $16.5 million to settle the 2018 Swap (as defined in Note 13, “Derivative Financial Instruments”) prior to its June 2024 maturity, and reclassified the remaining $15.7 million of pretax accumulated deferred losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders’ equity to other income (expense) on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2021. The associated $3.7 million deferred tax asset was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss and netted against income taxes receivable during the year ended January 31, 2022.

9.    CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

On December 4, 2019, we entered into anthe Investment Agreement with the Apax Investor whereby, subject to certain closing conditions, the Apax Investor agreed to make an investment in us in an amount up to $400.0 million as follows:

On May 7, 2020, (the “Series A Closing Date”), 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, (the “Series B Closing Date” and together with the Series A Closing Date, as applicable, the “Applicable Closing Date”), 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 Closing Date.applicable issuance date.

Voting Rights

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 the 48-month anniversary of the Series A Closing Date,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 the Series A Closing DateDecember 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 months ended April 30, 2022,2023, we paid $10.4 million of preferred stock dividends, all of which was accrued as of January 31, 2022,2023, and there were $6.9 million of cumulative undeclared and unpaid preferred stock dividends at April 30, 2022.2023. There were no accrued dividends as of April 30, 2022.2023. We reflected $5.2 million and $3.3 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 each of the three months ended April 30, 20222023 and 2021, respectively.2022.

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 the date of the Investment Agreement.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 April 30, 2022,2023, 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 9.6 million shares and Apax’s ownership in us on an as-converted basis was approximately 13.0%.

At any time after 36 months followingMay 7, 2023, in the Applicable Closing Date,case of the Series A Preferred Stock, and April 6, 2024, in the case of the Series B Preferred Stock, we will 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”).

We may redeem any or all of the Preferred Stock of a series for cash at any time after May 7, 2026, in the 72-month anniversarycase of the Applicable Closing DateSeries 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 Apax Investor has agreed to restrictions on its ability to dispose of shares of the Preferred Stock until the earlier of (1) the 36-month anniversary of the Series A Closing Date or (2) the 24-month anniversary of the consummation of the Spin-Off (the “Preferred Stock Restricted Period”). Following the Preferred Stock Restricted Period, the Preferred Stock may not be sold or transferred without our prior written consent. The Apax Investor had also agreed to restrictions on its ability to dispose of the common stock issuedissuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock.Stock is not subject to this restriction. The common stock could not be disposed of untilrestriction on the earlier of (1) the 12-month anniversary of consummationsale or transfer of the Spin-Off or (2) the 24-month anniversary of the Series A Closing Date. These restrictions didPreferred Stock does not apply to certain transfers to one or more permitted co-investors or transfers or pledges of the Preferred Stock or common stock pursuant to the terms of specified margin loans to be 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 102-month anniversarycase of the Applicable Closing DateSeries 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 April 30, 20222023 and January 31, 2022,2023, separate from permanent equity, as the potential required repurchase of the Preferred Stock, however remote in likelihood, is not solely under our control.

Table of Contents
As of April 30, 2022,2023, 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 102-month anniversarycase of the Applicable Closing DateSeries 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 April 30, 20222023 plus accrued and unpaid dividends. As of April 30, 2022,2023, 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 $3.5 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.

AtUpon issuance of the Series A Closing Date,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 to fair value and as a result we recorded a non-cash benefit of $15.8 million related to the change in fair value of the Future Tranche Right for the three months ended April 30, 2021, within other income (expense), net. Uponupon 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 Stock. As a result of the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, we no longer recognize changes in the fair value of the Future Tranche Right in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.


10.    STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
 
Common Stock Dividends

We did not declare or pay any cash dividends on our common stock during the three months ended April 30, 20222023 and 2021.2022. Under the terms of our Credit Agreement, we are subject to certain restrictions on declaring and paying cash dividends on our common stock.

Treasury Stock Repurchase Programs

On March 31, 2021, we announced thatFrom time to time, our board of directors had authorized a stock repurchase program whereby we were authorizedhas approved limited programs to repurchase up to a number of shares of common stock approximately equal to the number of shares to be issued as equity compensation during the fiscal year ending January 31, 2022. During the three months ended April 30, 2021, we repurchased 1,600,000 shares of our common stock from our directors or officers in connection with the vesting of restricted stock or restricted stock units to facilitate required income tax withholding by us or the payment of required income taxes by such holders. 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 costtime when the holder is not permitted to sell shares in the market. Our stock bonus program contains similar terms. Any such repurchases of $75.4 million under this program.

11.   INCOME TAXES
 
Our interim provision for (benefit from) 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 April 30, 2023, we recorded an income tax provision of $4.4 million on pretax income of $8.0 million, which represented an effective income tax rate of 54.6%. The effective tax rate 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 foreign jurisdictions.

For the three months ended April 30, 2022, we recorded an income tax provision of $0.3 million on pretax income of $0.9 million, which represented an effective income tax rate of 34.0%. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the U.S. taxation of certain foreign activities, partially offset by lower statutory rates in certain foreign jurisdictions.

Table of Contents

For the three months ended April 30, 2021, we recorded an income tax benefit of $0.1 million on pretax income of $1.0 million, which represented a negative effective income tax rate of 7.0%. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of U.S. taxation of certain foreign activities and the adjustment of certain unrecognized tax benefits, offset by a change in the fair value of the Future Tranche Right associated with the Preferred stock issuance and by lower statutory rates in several foreign jurisdictions.

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 certain state and foreign deferred income tax assets as a result of historical losses in the most recent three-year period in certain state and foreign jurisdictions. We intend to maintain valuation allowances until sufficient positive evidence exists to support a reversal.

We had unrecognized income tax benefits of $84.1$87.7 million and $84.2$87.9 million (excluding interest and penalties) as of April 30, 20222023 and January 31, 2022,2023, respectively, that if recognized, would impact our effective income tax rate. The accrued liability for interest and penalties was $3.6$5.3 million and $3.4$5.2 million at April 30, 20222023 and January 31, 2022,2023, respectively. Interest and penalties are recorded as a component of the provision for income taxes in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. 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 April 30, 20222023 could decrease by approximately $0.4$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.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was enacted and signed into U.S. law to provide economic relief to individuals and businesses facing economic hardship as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The income tax provisions of the CARES Act do not have a significant impact on our current taxes, deferred taxes, or uncertain tax positions. However, we have deferred the timing of employer payroll taxes and accelerated the refund of AMT credits as permitted by the CARES Act.

In January 2020, we completed the sale of an insignificant subsidiary. In accordance with the terms of the sale agreement, 100% of the aggregate purchase price is contingent in nature based on a percentage of net sales of the former subsidiary’s products during the thirty-six month period following the transaction closing. We include the fair value of the contingent consideration receivable within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair value of this asset as of April 30, 2022 and 2021, which is measured using Level 3 inputs, was $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. We received payments of $0.1 million during each of the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021. The change in the estimated fair value of this contingent receivable was not material during the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021.

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.

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.

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 5.2%6.6% to 5.4%7.7%, with a weighted average discount rate of 5.3%,7.2% in our calculation of the estimated fair valuevalues of our contingent consideration assetliabilities as of April 30, 2022.2023. We utilized discount rates ranging from 3.5%6.6% to 3.9%7.6%, with a weighted average discount rate of 3.7%6.9% in our calculationcalculations of the estimated fair valuevalues of our contingent consideration assetliabilities as of January 31, 2022.2023.

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

Table of Contents

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. These assets are recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized.

As ofInvestments

During the three months ended April 30, 2022,2023, we invested approximately $1.1 million in a privately-held company via a simple agreement for future equity (“SAFE”). The SAFE provides that, upon the carryingcompletion 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 our noncontrolling equity investments(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 privately-held companies without readily determinable fair values was $5.1 million.

The carrying amount of our noncontrolling equity investments in privately-held companies without readily determinable fair values was $5.1 million as of which $4.4 million was remeasured to fair value based on an observable transaction during the year endedApril 30, 2023 and January 31, 2022.2023. These investments were included within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheetsheets as of April 30, 2023 and January 31, 2022. An unrealized gain of $3.1 million, which adjusted the carrying value of a noncontrolling equity investment based on an observable transaction, was recorded in other income (expense), net on the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2021.2023. There were no observable price changes in our investments in privately-held companies during the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022. We did not recognize any impairments during the three months ended April 30, 20222023 and 2021.2022.


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. 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 $7.3$6.6 million and $7.4$6.8 million as of April 30, 20222023 and January 31, 2022,2023, respectively.

Interest Rate Swap Agreement

In April 2018, we executed a pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap agreement with a multinational financial institution to partially mitigate risks associated with the variable interest rate on our Term Loan. Pursuant to the agreement, we paid interest at a fixed rate of 2.949% and received variable interest of three-month LIBOR (subject to a minimum of 0.00%), on a notional amount of $200.0 million (the “2018 Swap”). The effective date of the 2018 Swap was September 6, 2019, and settlements with the counterparty began on November 1, 2019, and occurred on a quarterly basis. The 2018 Swap had a termination date of June 29, 2024.

Prior to May 1, 2020, the 2018 Swap was designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes and as such, changes in its fair value were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and were reclassified into the condensed consolidated statement of operations within interest expense in the periods in which the hedged transactions affected earnings.

On May 1, 2020, which was an interest rate reset date on our Term Loan, we selected an interest rate other than three-month LIBOR. As a result, the 2018 Swap, which was designated specifically to hedge three-month LIBOR interest payments, no longer qualified as a cash flow hedge. Subsequent to May 1, 2020, changes in the fair value of the 2018 Swap were accounted for as a component of other income (expense), net. Accumulated deferred losses on the 2018 Swap of $20.4 million, or $16.0 million after taxes, at May 1, 2020 that were previously recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, were being reclassified to the condensed consolidated statement of operations as interest expense over the remaining term of the 2018 Swap, as the previously hedged interest payments occurred.

31

Table of Contents
On April 13, 2021, we paid $16.5 million to settle the 2018 Swap agreement prior to its June 2024 maturity. Upon settlement, we recorded an unrealized gain of $1.3 million in other income (expense) to adjust the 2018 Swap to its fair value at settlement date and reclassified the remaining $15.7 million of pretax accumulated deferred losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders’ equity to other income (expense), net on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2021. The associated $3.7 million deferred tax asset was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss and netted against income taxes receivable during the year ended January 31, 2022.

14.    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-Based Compensation Plan

On June 20, 2019, our stockholders approved the Verint Systems Inc. 2019 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”). Upon approval of the 2019 Plan, new awards arewere no longer permitted under our prior stock-based compensation plan (the “2017 Amended Plan”). Awards outstanding at June 20, 2019 under the 2017 Amended Plan or other previous stock-based compensation plans were not impacted by the approval of the 2019 Plan. Collectively, our stock-based compensation plans are referred to herein as the “Plans”.

The 2019 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. Subject to adjustment as provided in the 2019 Plan, up to an aggregate of (i) 9,475,000 shares of our common stock plus (ii) the number of shares of our common stock available for issuance under the 2017 Amended Plan as of June 20, 2019, plus (iii) the number of shares of our common stock that become available for issuance as a result of awards made under the 2017 Amended Plan or the 2019 Plan that are forfeited, cancelled, exchanged, or that terminate or expire, may be issued or transferred in connection with awards under the 2019 Plan. Each stock option or stock-settled stock appreciation right granted under the 2019 Plan will reduce the available plan capacity by 1one share and each other award denominated in shares that is granted under the 2019 Plan will reduce the available plan capacity by 2.38 shares.

26


In March 2021, our board of directors approved an adjustment of the available plan capacity to the 2019 Plan to 14,239,656 shares based on an adjustment ratio of approximately 1.45 as a result of the Spin-Off.

At our annual meeting of stockholders on June 22, 2023, our stockholders will be asked to consider a proposal to approve the Verint Systems Inc. 2023 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”). If the 2023 Plan is approved, no further awards will be made under the 2019 Plan following the date of such approval.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

We recognized stock-based compensation expense in the following line items on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended April 30, 20222023 and 2021:2022:

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 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 awards to executive officers and certain employees vest upon the achievement of specified performance goals or market conditions (performance stock units or “PSUs”).

The following table (“Award Activity Table”) summarizes activity for RSUs, PSUs, and other stock awards that reduce available Plan capacity under the Plans for the three months ended April 30, 20222023 and 2021:2022:

The beginning balance of the outstanding shares for the three months ended April 30, 2021 reflects the adjusted shares based on an adjustment ratio of approximately 1.45 as a result of the Spin-Off on February 1, 2021. The related weighted-average grant date fair value for the beginning outstanding shares reflects the adjusted fair value of the awards on the Spin-Off Date. The adjusted shares preserve the same terms and conditions and vesting schedules as the original awards.

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 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 Bonus Program” and “Bonus Share 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 April 30, 2022,2023, 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.

In order to achieve an equitable modification of the existing awards following the Spin-Off, we converted unvested awards as of February 1, 2021 by a factor of approximately 1.45, resulting in additional awards being granted to remaining employees denominated solely in Verint common stock. As noted above, a corresponding adjustment was also made to the available capacity under the 2019 Plan.

The following table summarizes PSU activity in isolation under the Plans for the three months ended April 30, 20222023 and 20212022 (these amounts are also included in the Award Activity Table above for 20222023 and 2021)2022):

As of April 30, 2022,2023, there was approximately $129.0$119.7 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 2.02.2 years.

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”). To the extent that this program is not funded in a given year or the number of
28


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.

Under our bonus share program, we may provide discretionary bonuses to employees or pay earned bonuses that are outside the stock bonus program in the form of shares of common stock. Unlike the stock bonus program, there is no enrollment for this program and no discount feature.
 
For bonuses in respect of the year ended January 31, 2022,2023, 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 300,000200,000 shares of common stock, and a discount of 15% approved for awards under our stock bonus program. We currently expect to issue no more than 125,000approximately 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, which are expected to be issued during the first half of the year ending January 31, 2023. The bonus share program was not used, and no shares will be issued under this program, in respect of the performance period ended January 31, 2022.2024.

In March 2022,2023, our board of directors approved the use of up to 300,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate under these two programs, with up to 200,000 shares of common stock, and a discount of 15%, approved for awards under our stock bonus program for the performance period ending January 31, 2023.2024. Any shares earned under these programs for the performance period ending January 31, 2023 will be issued during the year ended January 31, 2024.2025.

The combined accrued liabilities for these two programs were $8.9$9.2 million and $6.5$7.9 million at April 30, 20222023 and January 31, 2022,2023, respectively.


15.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

CTI Litigation

35


In March 2009, one of our former employees, Ms. Orit Deutsch, commenced legal actions 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 Comverse Limited (CTI’s primary Israeli subsidiary at the time), Ms. Roni Katriel, commenced similar legal actions in Israel against Comverse Limited (Case Number 3444/09). In these actions, the plaintiffs generally sought to certify class action suits against the defendants on behalf of current and former employees of VSL and Comverse Limited who had been granted stock options in Verint and/or CTI and who were allegedly damaged as a result of a suspension on option exercises during an extended filing delay period that is discussed in our and CTI’s historical public filings. On June 7, 2012, the Tel Aviv District Court, where the cases had been filed or transferred, allowed the plaintiffs to consolidate and amend their complaints against the 3three defendants: VSL, CTI, and Comverse Limited.

On October 31, 2012, CTI distributed all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Comverse, Inc., its principal operating subsidiary and parent company of Comverse Limited, to CTI’s shareholders (the “Comverse Share Distribution”). In the period leading up to the Comverse Share Distribution, CTI either sold or transferred substantially all of its business operations and assets (other than its equity ownership interests in Verint and in its then-subsidiary, Comverse, Inc.) to Comverse, Inc. or to unaffiliated third parties. As the result of these transactions, Comverse, Inc. became an independent company and ceased to be affiliated with CTI, and CTI ceased to have any material assets other than its equity interests in Verint. Prior to the completion of the Comverse Share Distribution, the plaintiffs sought to compel CTI to set aside up to $150.0 million in assets to secure any future judgment, but the District Court did not rule on this motion. In February 2017, Mavenir Inc. became successor-in-interest to Comverse, Inc.

On February 4, 2013, Verint acquired the remaining CTI shell company in a merger transaction (the “CTI Merger”). As a result of the CTI Merger, Verint assumed certain rights and liabilities of CTI, including any liability of CTI arising out of the foregoing legal actions. However, under the terms of a Distribution Agreement entered into in connection with the Comverse Share Distribution, we, as successor to CTI, are entitled to indemnification from Comverse, Inc. (now Mavenir) for any losses we may suffer in our capacity as successor to CTI related to the foregoing legal actions.

Following an unsuccessful mediation process, on August 28, 2016, the District Court (i) denied the plaintiffs’ motion to certify the suit as a class action with respect to all claims relating to Verint stock options, (ii) dismissed the motion to certify the suit against VSL and Comverse Limited, and (iii) approved the plaintiffs’ motion to certify the suit as a class action against CTI
29


with respect to claims of current or former employees of Comverse Limited (now part of Mavenir) or of VSL who held unexercised CTI stock options at the time CTI suspended option exercises. The court also ruled that the merits of the case would be evaluated under New York law.

As a result of this ruling (which excluded claims related to Verint stock options from the case), one of the original plaintiffs in the case, Ms. Deutsch, was replaced by a new representative plaintiff, Mr. David Vaaknin. CTI appealed portions of the District Court’s ruling to the Israeli Supreme Court. On August 8, 2017, the Israeli Supreme Court partially allowed CTI’s appeal and ordered the case to be returned to the District Court to determine whether a cause of action exists under New York law based on the parties’ expert opinions.

Following two unsuccessful rounds of mediation in mid to late 2018 and in mid-2019, the proceedings resumed. On April 16, 2020, the District Court accepted the plaintiffs’ application to amend the motion to certify a class action and set deadlines for filing amended pleadings by the parties. CTI submitted a motion to appeal the District Court’s decision to the Israeli Supreme Court, as well as a motion to stay the proceedings in the District Court pending the resolution of the appeal. On July 6, 2020, the Israeli Supreme Court granted the motion for a stay. On July 27, 2020, the plaintiffs filed their response on the merits of the motion for leave to appeal. On December 15, 2021, the Israeli Supreme Court rejected CTI’s motion to appeal and the proceedings in the District Court resumed.

At the recommendation of the District Court, in June 2022, the parties recently agreed to conductconducted another round of mediation whichin 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 currently scheduled forcomprehensive, final and absolute and includes within it all the end of June 2022,amounts and expenses to be paid in parallelconnection with the proceedingssettlement agreement. Under the terms of an associated guaranty agreement, Verint has guaranteed the payment of the compensation amount in the event it is not paid by the primary obligors. On February 7, 2023, the District Court.Court approved the settlement without material changes. As of April 30, 2023, the first installment of the compensation amount had been paid by Mavenir, leaving two installments of approximately $4.7 million each to be paid between September 2023 and April 2024.

On February 1, 2021, we completed the Spin-Off. As a result of the Spin-Off, Cognyte is now an independent, publicly traded company. Under 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 April 30, 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

36


On February 14, 2022,As previously disclosed, Verint Americas Inc., as successor to ForeSee Results, Inc. (“ForeSee”), received negative partial summary judgment decisionswas the defendant in two cases pending against it in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. As discussed below, we believe that the court’s decisions were wrongly decided and are contrary to the facts and the law. We are seeking reconsideration of the rulings and will ultimately appeal the rulings if necessary. We believe that the claims asserted by the plaintiffs are without merit. In addition, as explained in our affirmative Delaware litigation, we also believe that by bringing the claims, plaintiffs breached an agreement not to pursue such claims in an improper attempt by them and their founder, Claes Fornell, to extract additional monies from ForeSee.

The two Eastern District of Michigan cases are 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 (Case No. 2:18-cv-13319. Verint completed its acquisition of ForeSee on December 19, 2018. In its complaint, ACSI LLC18-cv-13319) and alleged infringement of two federally registered trademarks and common law unfair competition under federal and state law. ACSI LLC asserts that ForeSee, despite cancelling its license to use ACSI LLC’s alleged trademarks in 2013, has continued to use ACSI LLC’s trademarks. The trademark infringement claim was subsequently dismissed, but the common law unfair competition claims have proceeded. 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 (Case No. 2:19-cv-12602. In its complaint, CFI alleges19-cv-12602) and alleged unfair competition and false advertising under federal and state law, as well as tortious interference with contract. CFI assertsWe believe that ForeSee engagedthe claims asserted by the plaintiffs in unfair competition by using ACSI LLC’s trademarksthese matters were without a license, and that ForeSee engaged in false advertising by mis-describing its customer satisfaction products. ACSI LLC’s and CFI’s complaints seek unspecified damages on their claims.

merit. Following discovery, on June 3, 2021, ACSI LLC and CFI moved for partial summary judgment on their claims and ForeSee moved for summary judgment against their claims. On February 14, 2022,the filing of the Eastern District of Michigan generally grantedlitigation, 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’sLLC, CFI, Claes Fornell, and CFI’s motionsCFI Software LLC (the “Fornell Group”) asserting fraud and other claims against ACSI LLC, CFI, Fornell, and CFI Software for, partial summary judgmentamong other things, their breach of a “Joinder and generally denied ForeSee’s motions for summary judgment. As noted above,Waiver Agreement” entered into in connection with the December 2013 sale of ForeSee believesto 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 will pay $9.0 million to the Fornell Group 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 court’s decisions were wrongly decided, ignore substantial factual evidencesettlement 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, and the case in Delaware filed by us, have been [or are in the record, and are contrary to applicable law. On February 28, 2022, ForeSee moved for reconsideration, and that motion is pending before the court. ForeSee continues to believe that there are substantial defenses to the claims in the ACSI LLC and CFI litigations and intends to continue to defend them vigorously.process of being] dismissed.

Verint haswas also been informed that the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan’s Civil Division (“USAO”) is conducting a False Claims Act investigation concerning allegations ForeSee and/or Verint failed to provide the federal government the services described in certain government contracts.contracts related to ForeSee’s products inherited by Verint in the acquisition. Verint received a Civil Investigation Demand (“CID”) in connection with this investigation and has provided responses. The False Claims Act contains provisions that allow for private persons (“relators”) to initiate actions by filing claims under seal. We believe that this investigation was initiated in coordination with the Eastern District of Michigan litigation discussed above. Verint continues to work cooperatively with the USAO in its review of this matter. At this point, Verint has not determined that there were any deficiencies in ForeSee’s and/or Verint’s performance of the government contracts.

ForeSee also filed affirmative litigationIn March 2023, Verint and the Assistant U.S. Attorney overseeing the USAO investigation reached an agreement in principle to resolve the USAO matter. The proposed settlement, which would result in the Northern Districtpayment by Verint of Georgia (Case No. 1:19-cv-02892, Complaint filed on June 25, 2019) against ACSI LLC’s predecessor$7.0 million and would contain a statement of no admission to liability, is subject to definitive documentation as well as review and approval by the USAO, potential objection by any relators, and approval by a court if the investigation is in interest. ACSI LLC has now been substituted as the named defendant. In that action, ForeSee seeks cancellation of ACSI LLC’s federally registered trademarks. In response to ASCI LLC’s motion to dismiss the action, on March 15, 2022, the Georgia court issued an order transferring that action to the Eastern District of Michigan. Verint subsequently withdrew the action without prejudice and continues to consider any next actions it may takeconnection with respect to this matter.a lawsuit initiated by a relator.

ForeSee has also filed affirmative litigationAs of January 31, 2023, we recognized a $7.0 million legal settlement liability in respect of the United States District CourtUSAO 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 Districtyear ended January 31, 2023, resulting in no impact on our consolidated statements of Delaware (Case No. 1:21-cv-00674, Complaint filed on May 7, 2021) against ACSI LLC, CFI, Claes Fornell, and CFI Software LLC. Claes Fornell founded both ACSI LLC and CFI, and previously co-founded ForeSee before selling it in December 2013 for a significant gain. The Delaware action asserts claims against ACSI LLC, CFI, Fornell, and CFI Software for their breach of a “Joinder and Waiver Agreement” entered into in connection with the December 2013 sale in which they represented that they had no claims against ForeSee and in which they released any such claims. The Delaware action alleges that the Eastern District of Michigan litigations effectively represent an improper attempt by Fornell and his affiliates to profit off of ForeSee a second time (first by selling it in 2013 as a law-abiding company, only to sue it in 2018 and 2019 claiming violations of law for business practices that began while Fornell owned a significant position in ForeSee (via CFI Software) and during the time that Fornell served as chairman of ForeSee’s board). The Delaware action also asserts fraud claims against Fornell and CFI Software for affirmative statements they made in the December 2013 merger agreement which effectuated the sale and in other contemporaneous materials that ForeSee was not engaging in unfair competition or other violations of law. The Delaware litigation seeks as damages any amounts recovered by ACSI LLC, CFI or the USAO in the proceedings discussed above, as well as attorneys’ fees. Defendants moved to dismiss, stay or transfer the Delaware litigation, and the magistrate judge assigned to the case denied

No amountsAs of April 30, 2023, we have been recognizedaccrued a $7.0 million legal settlement liability in respect of the USAO matter and a $9.0 million legal settlement liability in respect of the ACSI and CFI matters within accrued expenses and other current liabilities. 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 financial statementsstatement of operations for the three months ended April 30, 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 loss contingencies as it is not probable a loss has been incurredactions, which offset settlement and legal expenses during the range of a possible loss is not yet estimable. However,year ended January 31, 2023. We collected $2.0 million during the year ended January 31, 2023 and $12.5 million was collected in light of the recent rulings by the court in the Eastern District of Michigan, we consider the potential exposure reasonably possible. An estimate of a reasonably possible loss (or a range of loss) cannot be made in either the commercial litigation or False Claims Act investigation at this time. As these matters are ongoing it is at least reasonably possible that our estimates will change in the near term and the effect may be material.April 2023.

We are a party to various other various litigation matters and claims that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. While we believe that the ultimate outcome of any such current matters will not have a material adverse effect on us, their outcomes are not determinable and negative outcomes may adversely affect our financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.

Overview

Spin-Off of Cognyte Software Ltd.Macroeconomic Conditions

On February 1, 2021, we completedDuring the previously announced spin-off (the “Spin-Off”)three months ended April 30, 2023, global macroeconomic conditions were, and continue to be, influenced by a number of Cognyte Software Ltd. (“Cognyte”), a companyfactors, including, but not limited by shares incorporated underto, the lawsremaining impacts of the StateCOVID-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, inflation, instability in the global banking industry, changes to monetary and fiscal policies by central banks and governments around the world, and the erosion of Israel whose businessforeign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. These items are described further below.

We believe that these conditions are impacting customer and operations consist ofpartner spending decisions and have resulted in an increased foreign currency impact on our former Cyber Intelligence Solutions business. The Spin-Off was completed by way of a pro rata distribution on February 1, 2021 of allrevenues due to the strengthening of the then-issuedU.S. dollar as well as decreased demand, increased costs, and outstanding ordinary shares, no par value,reduced margins. See the “Foreign Currency Exchange Rates’ Impact on Results of Cognyte to holders of record of our common stock asOperations” section below for a further discussion of the close of businessimpact that foreign currency exchange rates have had on January 25, 2021. After the distribution, we do not beneficially own any ordinary shares of Cognyte and beginning February 1, 2021, we no longer consolidate Cognyte within our financial results or reflect the financial results of Cognyte within our continuing results of operations.

In connection with the Spin-Off, weCOVID-19 Pandemic and Cognyte entered into a separation and distribution agreement as well as various other agreements that provide a framework for the relationships between the parties going forward, including among others an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement, and a transition services agreement, pursuant to which we and Cognyte agreed to provide and/or make available various administrative services and assets to each other for a given period based on each individual service. The performance of services under the transition services agreement was substantially concluded as of January 31, 2022, with only minimal advisory services continuing as of April 30, 2022.Workplace Modifications

Apax Investment

On December 4, 2019, we announced that an affiliate of Apax Partners 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”). 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 (the “Series B Preferred Stock” and, together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”). Further discussion regarding the Apax investments and details of the closing of both tranches appears in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Overview” section below.

COVID-19 Pandemic Update

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic. As a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we established remote working arrangements for our employees, limited non-essential business travel, and canceled or shifted our customer, employee, and industry events to a virtual-only format, among other modifications. We will continue to actively monitor and evaluate the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by governmental authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners, stockholders, or other stakeholders.

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 recently 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 during the second half ofin the year ended January 31, 2022 and continuing into the three months ended April 30, 2022,2023, we decided to exit or reduce our space under certain leased offices,office leases. We recognized $0.4 million and we will continue to evaluate our real estate footprint to determine where we can exit, consolidate, or modify our office space leases, and we anticipate exiting or reducing additional office leases in the future as we continue to implement our hybrid work model. During the three months ended April 30, 2022, we recognized $7.6 million of accelerated lease expense and other asset impairments, which waswere reflected in our consolidated statement of operations within selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Our Business

Verint helps brands provide Boundless Customer Engagement™. For more than two decades, the world’s most iconic brands – including more than 85 of the Fortune 100 companies – have trusted Verint to provide the technology and domain expertise they require to effectively build enduring customer relationships.

Verint is uniquely positioned to help organizations close the Engagement Capacity Gap™ with our differentiated Verint Customer Engagement Cloud Platform. Brands today are challenged by new workforce dynamics, ever-expanding customer engagement channels and exponentially more consumer interactions – often while facing limited budgets and resources. As a result, brands are finding it more challenging to deliver the desired customer experience. This creates a capacity gap, which is widening as the digital transformation continues. Organizations are increasingly seeking technology to close this gap with solutions that are based on artificial intelligence (AI)(“AI”) and are developed specifically for customer engagement. These solutions automate workflows across enterprise silos to optimize the workforce expense and at the same time drive an elevated consumer experience.

Verint is headquartered in Melville, New York, and has approximately 30 offices worldwide. We have approximately 4,4004,200 passionate professionalsemployees plus a few hundred contractors around the globe exclusively focused on helping brands provide Boundless Customer Engagement™.

Key Trends and Factors That May Impact our Performance

We believe there are three key market trends that are benefiting Verint today: the acceleration of digital transformation, changes in thea changing workforce, shaping the future of work, and elevated customer expectations.

Acceleration of Digital Transformation: Digital transformation is accelerating, and it is driving significant change in customer engagement for the contact centercenters 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 touchpoints in the enterprise and across many communication and collaboration platforms, with digital leading the way. Many brands understand that as digital rises in importance and telephony becomes more commoditized, organizations need to change business processes and put their primary focus on application capabilities when making customer engagement technology decisions. Customer touchpoints take place in contact centers, in back-office and branch operations, in ecommerce, in digital marketing, in self-service, and in customer experience departments. 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 Shapes the Future of Work: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 their employees work creates greater challenges in managing and coaching theiremployee 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. “The Great Resignation” has put a spotlight onBrands 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
40


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 moreincreasingly difficult with legacy technology. The increaseproliferation in the number ofcustomer channels and customers’the desire of customers to seamlessly shift between channels creates a more complex customer journey for brands to supportmanage and manage.support. Customers also expect that each brand willbrands to have a deep understanding of the customer’s relationship with thethat brand - one— 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, or in the back office, or in a branch. To develop that deep understanding, 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 automation to meet elevated customer expectations.

As discussed above, the current COVID-19 pandemic is also a material factor that may negatively impact us andWhile we continue to see significant demand for our solutions.solutions, including due to the foregoing key trends, we believe that current macroeconomic conditions, as described above, are impacting customer and partner spending decisions. Future impacts on our business and financial results as a result of these conditions are not estimable at this time and depend, in part, on the
33


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 possible impact of macroeconomic conditions and other global events on our business.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 20222023 describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements appearing in this report. The accounting policies that reflect our more significant estimates, judgments and assumptions in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements are described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2022,2023, and include the following:

Revenue recognition;
Accounting for business combinations;
Goodwill and other acquired intangible assets;
Income taxes; and
Accounting for stock-based compensation.

There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended April 30, 2022.2023.


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 latter 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.

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 20% and 22% of our total revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our combined cost of revenue and operating expenses denominated in non-U.S. dollar currency were 31% and 30% of our total combined cost of revenue and operating expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

When comparing average exchange rates for the three months ended April 30, 20222023 to average exchange rates for the three months ended April 30, 2021,2022, the U.S. dollar strengthened relative to the British pound sterling, the euro,Australian dollar, and the Australian dollar,euro, resulting in an overall decrease in our revenue and expenses on a U.S. dollar-denominated basis. For the three months ended April 30, 2022,2023, had foreign currency exchange rates remained unchanged from rates in effect for the three months ended April 30, 2021,2022, our revenue would have been approximately $2.5$2.9 million higher and our cost of revenue and operating expenses on a combined basis would have been approximately $2.2$4.4 million higher, which would have resulted in a $0.3$1.5 million increasedecrease in our operating income.

As of April 30, 2022, we employed approximately 4,400 professionals, including part-time employees and certain contractors, as compared to approximately 4,300 at April 30, 2021.

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 warranties, and (b) nonrecurring revenue, which primarily consists of our perpetual licenses, hardware, installation services, and business advisory consulting and training services.services, and patent license royalties.

Recurring Revenue

Three Months Ended April 30, 20222023 compared to Three Months Ended April 30, 2021.2022. Recurring revenue increased approximately $14.9$7.0 million, or 10%4%, from $144.5 million in the three months ended April 30, 2021 to $159.4 million in the three months ended April 30, 2022.2022 to $166.4 million in the three months ended April 30, 2023. The increase consisted of a $30.6$19.3 million increase in cloud revenue, partially offset by a $15.7$12.3 million decrease in support revenue. The increase in cloud revenue was primarily due to an increase in unbundled SaaS revenue resulting from support conversion transactions and new cloud deployments and support conversion transactions, and an increase in bundled SaaS as we continuerevenue due to see positive demand fromnew customer contracts and existing customers acrossexpanding their use of our portfolio of cloud-based solutions and services.cloud platform, partially offset by a decrease in optional managed services revenue. The decrease in support revenue was primarily due to customers migrating to our cloud-based solutions.

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. While we continue to see 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 impacting customer and partner spending decisions.

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 thean affiliate (the “Apax Investor”) of Apax InvestorPartners (“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 StockStock”) 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 described above 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.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 April 30, 2022,2023, Apax’s ownership in us on an as-converted basis was approximately 13.0%.

Each series of Preferred Stock pays dividends at an annual rate of 5.2% until the 48-month anniversary of the closing of the Series A Preferred Stock investment,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
47


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, stock repurchases, dividends on the Preferred Stock, and business acquisitions. Cash generated from operations, along with our existing cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, are our primary sources of operating liquidity.

On May 28, 2021, prior to the June 1, 2021 maturity date of our 1.5% convertible senior notes (the “2014 Notes”), we paid an aggregate of $389.8 million in cash for the settlement of the 2014 Notes. Further discussion of the settlement of our 2014 Notes 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 $57.0$21.9 million of net cash expended for business acquisitions during the year ended January 31, 2022.2023. There were no business acquisitions during the three months ended April 30, 20222023 or 2021.2022. Please refer to Note 5, “Business Combinations”Combinations 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.

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 the 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 and other general corporate purposes.

A 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 $157.6were $146.2 million and $140.2$126.0 million as of April 30, 20222023 and January 31, 2022,2023, 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 $0.3 million and $0.4$0.2 million, at April 30, 20222023 and January 31, 2022, respectively.2023.

We currently intend to continue to indefinitely reinvest a portion of the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, which, as a result of the 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. As noted above, we currently intend to indefinitely reinvest a portion of the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to finance foreign activities. Except to the extent that earnings of our foreign subsidiaries have been subject to U.S. taxation as of April 30, 2022,2023, we have not provided tax on the outside 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 of income and withholding taxes that would have to be provided on such earnings.
 
The following table summarizes our total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, cash equivalents, and bank time deposits, and short-term investments, as well as our total debt, as of April 30, 20222023 and January 31, 2022:2023:

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 from Continuing Operations
 
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 from continuing operations generated $53.9$60.0 million of net cash during the three months ended April 30, 2022,2023, compared to $37.7$53.9 million generated during the three months ended April 30, 2021.2022. Our operating cash flow in the current period increased primarily due to $24.5a $12.5 million of lowerinsurance reimbursement related to certain legal matters that we have agreed to settle, with payment from us expected this fiscal year, partially offset by higher combined interest and net income tax payments, with the higher income tax payments in the prior period being related to the Spin-Off, a $3.7 million decrease in the non-financing portion of payments under contingent consideration arrangements, and a favorable impact on operating cash flow from changes in operating assets and liabilities compared to the prior period, partially offset by $7.3 million of higher operating lease payments as a result of the early termination or abandonment of several leased offices.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) Provided ByUsed in Investing Activities

During the three months ended April 30, 2023, our investing activities used $10.8 million of net cash, consisting primarily of $6.8 million of payments for property, equipment and capitalized software development, $2.9 million of net purchases of short-term investments, and a $1.1 million investment in a privately-held company.

During the three months ended April 30, 2022, our investing activities used $7.2 million of net cash, consisting primarily of payments for property, equipment and capitalized software development costs.
49



During the three months ended April 30, 2021, our investing activities provided $39.3 million of net cash, consisting primarily of $45.6 million of net sales and maturities of short-term investments, partially offset by $6.3 million of payments for property, equipment and capitalized software development costs.

We had no significant commitments for capital expenditures at April 30, 2022.2023.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
 
For the three months ended April 30, 2023, our financing activities used $71.5 million of net cash, primarily due to $100.0 million of repayments of borrowing under our Term Loan, $60.3 million of payments to repurchase common stock, $10.4 million of payments of Preferred Stock dividends, $0.5 million of finance lease payments, and a $0.2 million distribution to a noncontrolling shareholder of one of our subsidiaries, partially offset by $100.0 million of proceeds from borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.

For the three months ended April 30, 2022, our financing activities used $118.0 million of net cash, primarily due to $105.2 million of payments to repurchase common stock, $10.4 million of payments of Preferred Stock dividends, $1.6 million for the financing portion of payments under contingent consideration arrangements related to prior business combinations, $0.7 million of finance lease payments, and $0.1 million paid for debt-related issuance fees.

For the three months ended April 30, 2021, our financing activities used $20.1 million of net cash, primarily due to $310.1 million of repayments of borrowings under our Term Loan, $114.7 million of net cash transferred to Cognyte upon the completion of the Spin-Off, $75.0 million of payments to repurchase common stock, $41.0 million of payments to purchase the capped calls in connection with the issuance of our 2021 Notes, $16.5 million paid to terminate our interest rate swap, $9.4 million paid for debt-related issuance fees, $5.2 million of payments of Series A Preferred Stock dividends, $2.9 million for the financing portion of payments under contingent consideration arrangements related to prior business combinations, and $0.5 million of finance lease payments, partially offset by $315.0 million of net proceeds from the issuance of our 2021 Notes, $200.0 million of net proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock, and $40.2 million of a dividend and other settlements received from Cognyte in connection with the Spin-Off during the period.

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 subject to certain restrictions under our Credit Agreement.

Our liquidity could be negatively impacted by a decrease in demand for our products and services, including the impact of changes in customer buying behavior due to circumstances over which we have no control, including, but not limited to, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.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 or an increase in our borrowings under our credit facility.

Repurchases of Common Stock

On March 31, 2021,December 7, 2022, we announced that our board of directors had authorized a stock repurchase program for the period from December 12, 2022 until January 31, 2025, whereby we were authorized tomay repurchase up to a number of shares of common stock approximately equalin an amount not to exceed, in the number of shares to be issued as equity compensationaggregate, $200.0 million during the fiscal year ending January 31, 2022. repurchase period.

During the year ended January 31, 2022,2023, we acquiredrepurchased approximately 1,600,000649,000 shares of our common stock for a cost of $23.5 million under the current stock repurchase program. During the three months ended April 30, 2023, we repurchased approximately 1,593,000 shares of our common stock at a cost of $75.4$60.1 million, including excise tax of $0.4 million, under this program, and this program expired on January 31, 2022.

On December 2, 2021, we announced that our boardprogram. Our share repurchases in excess of directors had authorizedissuances are subject to a new stock repurchase program for1% excise tax enacted by the fiscal year ending January 31, 2023 whereby we may repurchase up to 1,500,000IRA. The excise tax of $0.4 million was recognized as part of the cost basis of shares acquired in the condensed consolidated statements of common stock to offset dilution from ourstockholders' equity compensation program for such fiscal year. To further offset such dilution as well as other dilutive transactions, on March 22, 2022, our board of directors authorized an additional 500,000 shares of common stock to be repurchased under this program. Duringduring the three months ended April 30, 2022,2023. Subsequent to April 30, 2023 through June 1, 2023, we acquired 2,000,000repurchased approximately 159,000 shares of our common stock at a cost of $105.7for $5.5 million under this program, with $0.5 million of these repurchases settled in cash in early May 2022.program. Repurchases under this program were funded with available cash in the United States.States.

Financing Arrangements

2021 Notes

On April 9, 2021, we issued $315.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 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 0.25% per annum.
50



We used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2021 Notes to pay the costs of the capped call transactionsCapped 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 our Credit Agreement described below, to terminate an interest rate swap agreement, and to repurchase shares of our common stock. The remainder is being used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The 2021 Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate of 16.1092 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2021 Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $62.08 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, 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 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. As of April 30, 2022,2023, the 2021 Notes were not convertible.

Based on the closing market price of our common stock on April 30, 2022,2023, 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 the 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
43


Capped Calls generally trigger upon conversion of the 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 April 30, 2022,2023, 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 approximately $41.1 million for the Capped Calls, including applicable transaction costs, which was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.

2014 Notes

On June 18, 2014, we issued $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2014 Notes. Net proceeds from the 2014 Notes after underwriting discounts were $391.9 million. The 2014 Notes paid interest in cash semiannually in arrears at a rate of 1.50% per annum.

The 2014 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 a prior credit agreement.

On May 28, 2021, prior to the maturity of the 2014 Notes on June 1, 2021, we paid an aggregate of $389.8 million in cash for the settlement of the 2014 Notes, which included $386.9 million in satisfaction of the outstanding principal of the 2014 Notes and $2.9 million related to the final interest payment on the 2014 Notes. We funded the repayment of the outstanding principal amount of the 2014 Notes and accrued interest thereon using the $390.0 million of cash we had placed in escrow on February 26, 2021 to cash collateralize the 2014 Notes. Additionally, the 2014 Notes had an incremental conversion value of $57.7 million, as the market value per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the 2014 Notes, was greater than the conversion price of the 2014 Notes. We issued approximately 1,250,000 shares of common stock to the holders of the 2014 Notes as payment of the conversion premium from treasury stock.

Note Hedges and Warrants

51


Concurrently with the issuance of the 2014 Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions (the “Note Hedges”) and sold warrants (the “Warrants”). Prior to the Spin-Off, the combination of the Note Hedges and the Warrants served to increase the effective initial conversion price for the 2014 Notes to $75.00 per share. Subsequent to the Spin-Off, as a result of the conversion rate adjustments, the Note Hedges and the Warrants served to increase the effective conversion price for the 2014 Notes to $47.18 per share. The Note Hedges and Warrants were each separate instruments from the 2014 Notes.

Note Hedges

Pursuant to the Note Hedges, we purchased call options on our common stock, under which we had 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 equaled the initial conversion price of the 2014 Notes. As a result of the Spin-Off, on February 1, 2021, the call options on our stock were adjusted to allow us to purchase up to 9,865,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $40.55, which was equal to the adjusted conversion price of the 2014 Notes. We were permitted to settle the Note Hedges in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination thereof, at our option, and they were intended to reduce our exposure to potential dilution upon conversion of the 2014 Notes. We paid $60.8 million for the Note Hedges, which was recorded as a charge to additional paid-in capital. Our exercise rights under the Note Hedges were automatically triggered upon conversion of any 2014 Notes and the Note Hedges otherwise terminated upon maturity of the 2014 Notes, on June 1, 2021. In connection with the maturity of the 2014 Notes on June 1, 2021, we received approximately 1,250,000 shares of our common stock from the counterparties under the Note Hedges, which offset the dilution resulting from the settlement of the conversion premium on the 2014 Notes as the market value per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the Note Hedges, was greater than the strike price of the Note Hedges.

During the year ended January 31, 2021, we repurchased $13.1 million principal amount of our 2014 Notes (the “Repurchased Notes”) in open market transactions for an aggregate of $13.0 million in cash. The Repurchased 2014 Notes did not change the number of common shares subject to the Note Hedges as the counterparties agreed that the options under the Note Hedges remained outstanding notwithstanding such repurchase. Upon maturity of the 2014 Notes, we received approximately 42,000 shares of our common stock from the counterparties to the Note Hedges as reimbursement for the in-the-money portion of the Repurchased 2014 Notes.

Warrants

We sold the Warrants to several counterparties. The Warrants initially provided 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. As a result of the Spin-Off, the terms of the Warrants provided the counterparties rights to acquire from us up to approximately 9,865,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $47.18 per share. Proceeds from the sale of the Warrants were $45.2 million and were recorded as additional paid-in capital. The Warrants expired incrementally on a series of expiration dates between August 30, 2021 and January 21, 2022. At each expiration date the Warrants were exercised when the market price per share of our common stock exceeded the strike price of the Warrants, and we issued an aggregate of 293,143 shares of our common stock as part of the cashless exercise of approximately 5,031,000 Warrants. The Warrants had a dilutive effect on net income per share to the extent that the average market value of our common stock exceeded the strike price of the Warrants. All outstanding Warrants were exercised or expired as of January 31, 2022.

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

The 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 “Term Loan”), of which $100.0 million was outstanding at April 30, 2022 and January 31, 2022, and a $300.0 million revolving credit facility maturing on April 9, 2026 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), none of which was drawn as of April 30, 2022 and January 31, 2022.. 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 Credit Agreement.

On April 27, 2023, we repaid the remaining $100.0 million outstanding principal balance on our Term Loan in full utilizing proceeds from our Revolving Credit Facility, along with $0.5 million of accrued interest thereon. As a result, $0.2 million of deferred debt issuance costs associated with the Term Loan were written off and are included within interest expense on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2023.

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

During the three months ended April 30, 2021, in addition to our regular quarterly $1.1 million principal payment,On May 10, 2023, we repaid $309.0 million of our Term Loan, reducing the outstanding balance to $100.0 million. As a result, $1.8 million of deferred debt
52


issuance costs and $0.2 million of unamortized discount associated with the Term Loan were written off, and are included within losses on early retirements of debt on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2021.

The maturity dates of the Term Loan and Prior Revolving Credit Facility would have been accelerated to March 1, 2021 if on such date any 2014 Notes remained outstanding, unless such outstanding 2014 Notes were cash collateralized pursuant to a secondentered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “2020“Fourth Amendment”), entered into on June 8, 2020. Pursuant related to the 2020 Amendment, we were permitted to effectplanned phase-out of LIBOR by the Spin-Off withinUK Financial Conduct Authority. Effective July 1, 2023, borrowings under the parametersCredit 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, as amended,“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 our 2014 Notes would not be deemedranges from 0.25% to be outstanding1.25% for purposes ofborrowings bearing interest at the determination ofalternate base rate and from 1.25% to 2.25% for borrowings bearing interest based on Adjusted Term SOFR.

Borrowings under the maturity dates of the Term Loan and the Prior Revolving Credit Facility discussed above if such 2014 Notes were cash collateralized in accordance with the Credit Agreement. On February 26, 2021, as noted above, we cash collateralized the 2014 Notes in satisfaction of the cash collateralization provisions of the 2020 Amendment. Accordingly, the maturity dates of the Term Loan and Prior Revolving Credit Facility were not accelerated to March 1, 2021. In connection with, the maturity of the 2014 Notes, we used the escrowed cash to settle the principal amount, including the final interest payment, and the incremental conversion value of $57.7$100.0 million was settled with approximately 1,250,000 shares of our common stock.

On April 9, 2021, we amended the Credit Agreement (the “2021 Amendment”), pursuant to which we refinanced the Prior Revolving Credit Facility, which would otherwise have matured on June 29, 2022, with the $300.0 million Revolving Credit Facility maturing on April 9, 2026.

As of April 30, 2022, the interest rate on the Term Loan was 2.46%. Taking into account the impact of the original issuance discount and related deferred debt issuance costs, the effective interest rate on the Term Loan was approximately 2.66% at April 30, 2022. As of January 31, 2022, the interest rate2023, which is included in long-term debt on the Term Loan was 2.10%.

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"“Leverage Ratio”). As of April 30, 2023, the interest rate on our revolving credit facility borrowings was 6.52%. In addition, under the Revolving Credit Facility, and previously under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility, 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 Credit Agreement contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type. The Credit Agreement also contains a financial covenant that, solely with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, requires us to maintain a Leverage Ratio of no greater than 4.5 to 1. At April 30, 2022,2023, our Leverage Ratio was approximately 1.1 to 1. The limitations imposed by the covenants are subject to certain exceptions as detailed in the Credit Agreement.

Optional prepayments of loans under the Credit Agreement are generally permitted without premium or penalty. 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.

Interest Rate Swap

On April 13, 2021, we paid $16.5 million to settle our existing interest rate swap prior to its June 2024 maturity. Upon settlement, we recorded an unrealized gain of $1.3 million in other income (expense), net to adjust the swap to its fair value at settlement date and reclassified the remaining $15.7 million of pretax accumulated deferred losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders’ equity to other income (expense), net on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2021. The associated $3.7 million deferred tax asset was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss and netted against income taxes receivable during the year ended January 31, 2022.

Please refer to Note 13, “Derivative Financial Instruments”, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report for more information regarding the termination of our interest rate swap.

Contractual Obligations

44


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 April 30, 2022,2023, we believe there have been no material changes to our contractual
53


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, 2022.2023. For additional information regarding our leases, long-term debt and our commitments and contingencies, see Note 17, “Leases”, in the Form 10-K and Note 7, “Long-Term Debt”, Note 9, “Convertible Preferred Stock”, and Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies” in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

As of April 30, 2022,2023, our total operating lease liabilities were $44.3$46.8 million, of which $15.2$7.6 million is included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities (current portions), and $29.1$39.2 million is included as operating lease liabilities (long-term portions), on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We have no current plans to lease significant additional office space. Beginning during the second half of the year ended January 31, 2022 and continuing into the three months ended April 30, 2022, we decided to exit certain leased offices, and we anticipate exiting or reducing additional office leases in the future as we continue to assess how and to what extent our employees will return to work in our offices.

It is not our business practice to enter into off-balance sheet arrangements. However, in the normal course of business, we enter into contracts in which we make representations and warranties that guarantee the performance of our products and services. Historically, there have been no significant losses related to such guarantees.

Our condensed consolidated balance sheet at April 30, 20222023 included $16.3$52.8 million of non-current tax reserves net of related benefits (including interest and penalties of $3.6 million )$5.3 million), net of related benefits for uncertain tax positions. We do not expect to make any significant payments for these uncertain tax positions within the next 12 months.

Contingent Payments Associated with Business Combinations
 
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 three months ended April 30, 2022,2023, we made $2.7$0.3 million of payments under contingent consideration arrangements. As of April 30, 2022,2023, potential future cash payments, and earned consideration expected to be paid, subsequent to April 30, 20222023 under contingent consideration arrangements totaled $4.8$21.5 million, andthe estimated fair value of which was reported in$12.9 million, of which $7.1 million was recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and $5.8 million was recorded within other liabilities. The performance periods associated with these expectedpotential payments expired during the year endedextend through January 31, 2022.2026.

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 use derivative instruments 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

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 capped call transactions with certain counterparties. These separate transactions were completed to reduce our exposure to potential dilution upon conversion of the 2021 Notes.

The 2021 Notes have a fixed annual interest rate of 0.25% and therefore do not have interest rate risk exposure. However, the fair values of the 2021 Notes are subject to interest rate risk, market risk, and other factors due to the convertible feature. The fair values of the 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 Credit Agreement are periodically reset, at our option, originally at either a Eurodollar Rate or 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 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 alternate 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 2.00% for Eurodollar loans, and 1.00% for ABR loans.with $100.0 million of proceeds from borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. For loans 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. On April 13, 2021, we repaid $309.0 million of our Term Loan, reducing the outstanding balance to $100.0 million as of April 30, 2022. As of April 30, 2022,2023, the interest rate on our Term Loan$100.0 million of borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility was 2.46%6.52%. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates during any of the periods presented would not have had a material impact on our financial statements.

The periodic interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Agreement are currently a function of several factors, the most important of which is LIBOR, which is the rate we elect for the vast majority of our periodic interest rate reset events.

On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom announced that all LIBOR settings will either cease to be provided by any administrator or no longer be representative: (a) immediately after December 31, 2021, in the case of the one week and two-month U.S. dollar settings; and (b) immediately after June 30, 2023, in the case of the remaining U.S. dollar settings. We are considering the impact the planned phase out would have on our credit facility. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee has proposed the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its recommended alternative to LIBOR. However, it is currently uncertain what, if any, alternative reference interest rates, including SOFR, or other reforms will be enacted in response to the planned phase out, and we cannot assure you that an alternative to LIBOR (on which the Eurodollar Rate is based) that we find acceptable will be available to us.

Inflation Risk

We do notWhile we continue to see significant demand for our solutions as our customers accelerate the digitization of their customer interactions and internal operations, we believe that current macroeconomic factors, including increased inflation has had a material effect onrates, 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 businesscustomers’ purchasing behavior that may occur due to date. However, ifsignificant inflationary pressure or other factors. If our costs, in particular labor, sales and marketing, and cloud hosting costs, were to become subject to sustained or increased inflationary pressure, we may not be ableunable to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Moreover, significant inflationary pressure could impact customer spending, including for our products and services,increases, which could negatively impactharm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The section entitled “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” under Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 20222023 provides detailed quantitative and qualitative discussions of the market risks affecting our operations.

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 defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of April 30, 2022.2023. 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 April 30, 2022.2023.

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 April 30, 2022,2023, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

As a result 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. The design of our financial reporting processes, systems, and controls allows for remote execution with accessibility to secure data.

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.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

On December 2, 2021,7, 2022, we announced that our board of directors had authorized a new stock repurchase program for the fiscal year endingperiod from December 12, 2022 until January 31, 20232025, whereby we may repurchase up to 1,500,000 shares of common stock not to offset dilution from our equity compensationexceed, in the aggregate, $200.0 million during the repurchase period. During the year ended January 31, 2023, we repurchased approximately 649,000 shares under this stock repurchase program for such fiscal year. To further offset such dilution as well as other dilutive transactions, on March 22, 2022, our boardan aggregate purchase price of directors authorized an additional 500,000 shares of common stock to be repurchased under this program.$23.5 million. During the three months ended April 30, 2022,2023, we repurchased 2,000,0001,593,000 shares under this stock repurchase program for $60.1 million, including excise tax of $0.4 million. Subsequent to April 30, 2023 through June 1, 2023, we repurchased approximately 159,000 shares of our common stock for $5.5 million under this program. Repurchases were financed with available cash in the United States.

From time to time, we have purchased common stock from our directors, officers, and other employees to facilitate income tax withholding by us or the payment of income taxes by such holders upon vesting of equity awards occurring during a Company-imposed trading blackout or lockup period.

On August 16, 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act (the "IRA") into law. The IRA imposes a 1% excise tax on share repurchases, which is effective for us for repurchases completed after December 31, 2022. We reflect the excise tax within equity as part of the repurchase of the common stock.

Share repurchase activity during the three months ended April 30, 20222023 was as follows:
