EXHIBIT 99.2
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Verint”, “we”, “us”, and “our” in these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto refer to Verint Systems Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
On February 1, 2021 (the “Separation Date”), Verint (the “Company”) completed the previously announced separation of its Cyber Intelligence Solutions business (the “Business” or “Cognyte”), into a separate, independent publicly traded company, Cognyte Software Ltd. (NASDAQ: CGNT). This separation was completed by means of a distribution in which each holder of Verint’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, received one share of Cognyte’s common stock, no par value, for every share of common stock of Verint held of record as of the close of business on January 25, 2021 (the “Record Date”). After the distribution, the Company does not beneficially own any shares of common stock in Cognyte and will no longer consolidate Cognyte into its financial results for periods ending after January 31, 2021 (the entire transaction being referred to as the “Separation”).
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements and give effect to the Separation. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations reflect the Company’s results as if the Separation and related transactions had occurred as of February 1, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2020 reflects the Company’s financial position as if the Separation had occurred on October 31, 2020. After the date of the Separation, the historical financial results of Cognyte will be reflected in our consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for all periods presented through the Separation Date.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the Company’s financial position or results of operations had the Separation occurred as of and for the periods indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are provided for illustrative and informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s future results of operations or financial condition had the Separation and related transactions been completed on the dates assumed. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and assumptions management believes are, under the circumstances and given the information available at this time, reasonable, and best reflect the Separation and Verint’s financial condition and results of operations as if it was a stand-alone entity in accordance with GAAP. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and years ended January 31, 2020, January 31, 2019, and January 31, 2018 include corporate overhead costs previously allocated to the historical combined statements of operations of Cognyte that do not meet the definition of expenses related to discontinued operations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 205, “Presentation of Financial Statements” (“ASC 205”). A significant portion of these corporate overhead costs relate to executive management, finance, legal, information technology, and other shared services functions and are reflected in Verint’s pro forma income (loss) from continuing operations. The pro forma adjustments represent our best estimates based on information currently available and may differ from those that will be calculated to report Cognyte as discontinued operations in our future filings.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X Article 11, Pro Forma Financial Information, as amended by the final rule, Amendments to Financial Disclosures About Acquired and Disposed Businesses, as adopted by the SEC on May 21, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to reflect any potential synergies that may be achievable, or dis-synergy costs that may occur, in connection with the Separation.
