Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements include financial projections, statements of plans and objectives for future operations, statements of future economic performance, and statements of assumptions relating thereto. Forward-looking statements may appear throughout this report, including without limitation, Part I, Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and are often identified by future or conditional words such as "will", "plans", "expects", "intends", "believes", "seeks", "estimates", or "anticipates", or by variations of such words or by similar expressions. There can be no assurances that forward-looking statements will be achieved. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other important factors that could cause our actual results or conditions to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors that could cause our actual results or conditions to differ materially from our forward-looking statements include, among others:


•	uncertainties regarding the impact of general economic conditions in the United States and abroad, particularly in information technology spending and government budgets, on our business;


•	risks associated with our ability to keep pace with technological changes and evolving industry standards in our product offerings and to successfully develop, launch, and drive demand for new and enhanced, innovative, high-quality products that meet or exceed customer needs;


•	risks due to aggressive competition in all of our markets, including with respect to maintaining margins and sufficient levels of investment in our business;


•	risks created by the continued consolidation of our competitors or the introduction of large competitors in our markets with greater resources than we have;


•	risks associated with our ability to successfully compete for, consummate, and implement mergers and acquisitions, including risks associated with capital constraints, valuations, costs and expenses, maintaining profitability levels, management distraction, post-acquisition integration activities, and potential asset impairments;


•	risks relating to our ability to effectively and efficiently execute on our growth strategy, including managing investments in our business and operations and enhancing and securing our internal and external operations;


•	risks associated with our ability to effectively and efficiently allocate limited financial and human resources to business, development, strategic, or other opportunities that may not come to fruition or produce satisfactory returns;


•	risks that we may be unable to maintain and enhance relationships with key resellers, partners, and systems integrators;


•	risks associated with the mishandling or perceived mishandling of sensitive or confidential information, security lapses, or with information technology system failures or disruptions;


•	risks associated with our significant international operations, including, among others, in Israel, Europe, and Asia, exposure to regions subject to political or economic instability, and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates;


•	risks associated with a significant amount of our business coming from domestic and foreign government customers, including the ability to maintain security clearances for certain projects;


•	risks associated with complex and changing local and foreign regulatory environments in the jurisdictions in which we operate;


•	risks associated with our ability to recruit and retain qualified personnel in regions in which we operate;


•	challenges associated with selling sophisticated solutions, long sales cycles, and emphasis on larger transactions, including in assisting customers in realizing the benefits of our solutions and in accurately forecasting revenue and expenses and in maintaining profitability;


•	risks that our intellectual property rights may not be adequate to protect our business or assets or that others may make claims on our intellectual property or claim infringement on their intellectual property rights;

Table of Contents


•	risks that our products may contain defects, which could expose us to substantial liability;


•	risks associated with our dependence on a limited number of suppliers or original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") for certain components of our products, including companies that may compete with us or work with our competitors;


•	risks that our customers or partners delay or cancel orders or are unable to honor contractual commitments due to liquidity issues, challenges in their business, or otherwise;


•	risks that we may experience liquidity or working capital issues and related risks that financing sources may be unavailable to us on reasonable terms or at all;


•	risks associated with significant leverage resulting from our current debt position, including with respect to covenant limitations and compliance, fluctuations in interest rates, and our ability to maintain our credit ratings;

•

risks arising as a result of contingent or other obligations or liabilities assumed in our acquisition of our former parent company, Comverse Technology, Inc. (“CTI”), or associated with formerly being consolidated with, and part of a consolidated tax group with, CTI, or as a result of CTI's former subsidiary, Comverse, Inc. ("Comverse"), being unwilling or unable to provide us with certain indemnities or transition services to which we are entitled;


•	risks relating to our ability to successfully implement and maintain adequate systems and internal controls for our current and future operations and reporting needs and related risks of financial statement omissions, misstatements, restatements, or filing delays; and


•	risks associated with changing tax rates, tax laws and regulations, and the continuing availability of expected tax benefits, including those expected as a result of acquisitions.

These risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and challenges, as well as other factors, are discussed in greater detail in "Risk Factors" under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2014. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s view only as of the date of this report. We make no commitment to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances after the date any such statement is made, except as otherwise required under the federal securities laws. If we were in any particular instance to update or correct a forward-looking statement, investors and others should not conclude that we would make additional updates or corrections thereafter except as otherwise required under the federal securities laws.

1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "Verint", "we", "us", and "our" in these notes to condensed consolidated financial statements refer to Verint Systems Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Verint is a global leader in Actionable Intelligence solutions. Actionable Intelligence is a necessity in a dynamic world of massive information growth because it empowers organizations with crucial insights and enables decision makers to anticipate, respond, and take action. With Verint solutions and value-added services, organizations of all sizes and across many industries can make more timely and effective decisions. Today, more than 10,000 organizations in over 180 countries, including over 80 percent of the Fortune 100, use Verint solutions to improve enterprise performance and make the world a safer place.

Our Actionable Intelligence solutions help organizations address three important challenges: Customer Engagement Optimization; Security Intelligence; and Fraud, Risk, and Compliance. We help our customers capture large amounts of information from numerous data types and sources, use analytics to glean insights from the information, and leverage the resulting Actionable Intelligence to help achieve their customer engagement, enhanced security, and risk mitigation goals.

Headquartered in Melville, New York, we support our customers around the globe directly and with an extensive network of selling and support partners.

We conduct our business through three operating segments—Enterprise Intelligence, Communications and Cyber Intelligence ("Communications Intelligence"), and Video and Situation Intelligence ("Video Intelligence"). Organizing our business through three operating segments allows us to align our resources and domain expertise to effectively address the Actionable Intelligence market. We address the Customer Engagement Optimization market opportunity through solutions from our Enterprise Intelligence segment. We address the Security Intelligence market opportunity through solutions from our Communications Intelligence segment and Video Intelligence segment, and we address the Fraud, Risk, and Compliance market opportunity through solutions from all three operating segments.

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 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the year ended January 31, 2014. The condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the periods ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, and the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2014, are not audited but reflect all adjustments that 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, 2014 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2014. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted 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 filed with the SEC for the year ended January 31, 2014. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year’s results.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Verint Systems Inc., our wholly owned subsidiaries, and a joint venture in which we hold a 50% equity interest. This joint venture functions as a systems integrator for Asian markets and is a variable interest entity in which we are the primary beneficiary. Investments in companies in which we have less than a 20% ownership interest and do not exercise significant influence are accounted for at cost. We include the results of operations of acquired companies from the date of acquisition. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.

Table of Contents

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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2014. There were no significant changes to our significant accounting policies during the three months ended April 30, 2014.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements Implemented

In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. This new standard is intended to resolve diversity in practice regarding the release into net income of a cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. ASU No. 2013-05 was effective prospectively for us on February 2, 2014. The adoption of this standard did not impact our condensed consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements To Be Implemented

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. ASU 2014-08 raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted but only for disposals that have not been reported in previously issued financial statements. We are currently reviewing this standard, but we do not expect its adoption to materially impact our condensed consolidated financial statements, absent any disposals of components or groups of components that have a material effect on our financial results in future periods.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU No. 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Accounting Standards Codification. Additionally, this update supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. It is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. We are currently reviewing this standard to assess the impact on our future condensed consolidated financial statements.

Total short-term investments	$	32,045	$	4	$	—	$	32,049

Bank time deposits which are reported within short-term investments consist of deposits held outside of the U.S. with maturities of greater than three months, or without specified maturity dates which we intend to hold for periods in excess of three months. All other bank deposits are included within cash and cash equivalents.

As of April 30, 2014 and January 31, 2014, all of our available-for-sale investments had contractual maturities of less than one year. We report our available-for-sale securities at fair value, based on quoted market prices or other readily available market information. Unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable income taxes, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Realized gains or losses, if applicable, are recorded in other income (expense), net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations, using the specific identification method. Gains and losses on sales of available-for-sale securities during the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013 were not significant.

During the three months ended April 30, 2014, proceeds from sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities were $0.4 million. There were no proceeds from sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities during the three months ended April 30, 2013.

We periodically review our investment portfolios to determine if any investment is other-than-temporarily impaired due to changes in credit risk or other potential valuation concerns. We believe that the investments we held at April 30, 2014 were not other-than-temporarily impaired. We held no available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses at April 30, 2014. We do not intend to sell our available-for-sale securities and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell them before recovery at par, which may be at maturity.


4.	BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Three Months Ended April 30, 2014

Table of Contents

KANA Software, Inc.

On February 3, 2014, we completed the acquisition of KANA Software, Inc. and its subsidiaries through the merger of KANA Software, Inc.'s parent holding company, Kay Technology Holdings, Inc. (collectively, "KANA"), with an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Verint, with KANA continuing as the surviving company and as our wholly owned subsidiary. The purchase price consisted of $542.4 million of cash paid at the closing, partially offset by $25.1 million of KANA’s cash received in the acquisition, and a $0.7 million post-closing purchase price adjustment, resulting in net cash consideration of $516.6 million. The post-closing purchase price adjustment resulted from the final determination of KANA's February 3, 2014 cash, debt, net working capital, transaction expenses and taxes, and was received in cash in May 2014.

The merger consideration was funded by a combination of cash on hand, $300.0 million of incremental term loans incurred in connection with an amendment to our Credit Agreement, and $125.0 million of borrowings under our 2013 Revolving Credit Facility (further details for which appear in Note 6, "Long-Term Debt").

KANA, based in Sunnyvale, California and with global operations, is a leading provider of on-premises and cloud-based solutions which create differentiated, personalized, and integrated customer experiences for large enterprises and mid-market organizations. KANA is being integrated into our Enterprise Intelligence operating segment.

Among the factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill as a component of the KANA purchase price allocation were synergies in products and technologies, and the addition of a skilled, assembled workforce. This goodwill has been assigned to our Enterprise Intelligence segment and while generally not deductible for income tax purposes, certain goodwill related to previous business combinations by KANA will be deductible for income tax purposes.

In connection with the purchase price allocation for KANA, the estimated fair value of undelivered performance obligations under customer contracts assumed in the merger was determined utilizing a cost build-up approach. The cost build-up approach calculates fair value by estimating the costs required to fulfill the obligations plus a reasonable profit margin, which approximates the amount that we believe would be required to pay a third party to assume the performance obligations. The estimated costs to fulfill the performance obligations were based on the historical direct costs for delivering similar services. As a result, in allocating the purchase price, we recorded $7.9 million of current and long-term deferred revenue, representing the estimated fair value of undelivered performance obligations for which payment had been received, which will be recognized as revenue as the underlying performance obligations are delivered. For undelivered performance obligations for which payment had not yet been received, we recorded an $18.6 million asset within prepaid expenses and other current assets as a component of the purchase price allocation, representing the estimated fair value of these obligations. We are amortizing this asset over the underlying delivery periods, as a reduction to revenue.

Revenue reported in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2014 included $29.9 million attributable to KANA since the February 3, 2014 acquisition date. As a result of the ongoing integration of KANA into our Enterprise Intelligence operating segment, it is impracticable to determine the impact on net income attributable to KANA.

Transaction and related costs, consisting primarily of professional fees and integration expenses, directly related to the merger, totaled $1.5 million for the three months ended April 30, 2014, and were expensed as incurred.

UTX Technologies Limited

On March 31, 2014, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of UTX Technologies Limited (“UTX”), a provider of certain mobile device tracking solutions for security applications, from UTX Limited. UTX Limited was our supplier of these products to our Communications Intelligence operating segment prior to the acquisition. The purchase price consisted of $82.9 million of cash paid at closing, subject to adjustment, and we agreed to make potential additional future cash payments to UTX Limited of up to $1.5 million, contingent upon the achievement of certain performance targets over the period from closing through June 30, 2014. The cash paid at closing was funded with cash on hand. The fair value of the contingent consideration obligation was estimated to be $1.3 million as of the acquisition date and at April 30, 2014.

UTX is based in the Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) region and is being integrated into our Communications Intelligence operating segment.

Table of Contents

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

Revenue and income before provision for income taxes attributable to UTX from March 31, 2014 through April 30, 2014 were not significant.

Transaction and related costs, consisting primarily of professional fees and integration expenses, directly related to the acquisition of UTX, totaled $2.6 million for the three months ended April 30, 2014, and were expensed as incurred.

As a result of the UTX acquisition, we recorded a $2.6 million charge for the impairment of certain capitalized software development costs during the three months ended April 30, 2014, reflecting strategy changes in certain product development initiatives. This charge is reflected within cost of product revenue.

Other Business Combination

On April 16, 2014, we completed the acquisition of certain technology and other assets for use in our Communications Intelligence operating segment in a transaction that qualified as a business combination. This business combination was not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Purchase Price Allocations

The purchase price allocations for the business combinations completed during the three months ended April 30, 2014 have been prepared on a preliminary basis and changes to those allocations may occur as additional information becomes available during the respective measurement periods (up to one year from the respective acquisition dates). Fair values still under review include values assigned to identifiable intangible assets, deferred income taxes and reserves for uncertain income tax positions.

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

The following table sets forth the components and the allocations of the purchase prices for our acquisitions of KANA and UTX.

Table of Contents



(in thousands)	KANA			UTX
Components of Purchase Prices:
Cash, including post-closing adjustments	$	541,685		$	82,939

Goodwill	329,147			44,256
Total purchase price allocations	$	541,685		$	84,286

The weighted-average estimated useful life of all finite-lived identifiable intangible assets acquired during the three months ended April 30, 2014 is 7.4 years.

For the acquisition of KANA, the acquired customer relationships, developed technology, and trademarks and trade names were assigned estimated useful lives of five to ten years, three to five years, and five years, respectively, the weighted average of which is approximately 8.1 years.

For the acquisition of UTX, the acquired customer relationships, developed technology and other intangible assets were assigned estimated useful lives of three years, four years, and four years, respectively, the weighted average of which is approximately 4.0 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.

We have included the financial results of these business combinations in our condensed consolidated financial statements from their respective acquisition dates.

Pro Forma Information

The following table provides unaudited pro forma operating results for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, as if KANA and UTX had been acquired on February 1, 2013. These unaudited pro forma results reflect certain adjustments related to these acquisitions, including amortization expense on finite-lived intangible assets acquired from KANA and UTX, interest expense and fees associated with additional long-term debt incurred to partially fund the acquisition of KANA, and adjustments to recognize the fair value of revenue associated with performance obligations assumed in the acquisition of KANA.

For purposes of the following unaudited pro forma operating results, a $45.2 million income tax benefit resulting from a reduction of valuation allowances associated from the acquisition of KANA is reflected in the pro forma operating results for the three months ended April 30, 2013. The actual tax benefit was recorded during the three months ended April 30, 2014, as further described in Note 10, "Income Taxes".

The unaudited pro forma results do not include any operating efficiencies or potential cost savings which may result from these business combinations. Accordingly, such unaudited pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of the results that

Business Combinations in Prior Periods

In connection with certain business combinations completed in prior periods, we have agreed to make contingent cash payments to the former shareholders or asset holders of the acquired businesses based upon achievement of performance targets following the acquisition dates. These obligations are measured at fair value at each reporting date.

For the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, we recorded a benefit of $0.2 million and a charge of $0.8 million, respectively, within selling, general and administrative expenses for changes in the fair values of these obligations, which primarily reflected the impacts of revised expectations of achieving the performance targets. Payments of contingent consideration earned under these agreements were $3.1 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

For a certain business combination completed during the year ended January 31, 2012, the purchase price allocation included liabilities for uncertain tax positions and certain other liabilities associated with pre-acquisition business activities of the acquired company. Corresponding indemnification assets were also recorded as components of the purchase price allocation for this acquisition, recognizing the selling shareholders’ contractual obligation to indemnify us for these pre-acquisition liabilities and were measured on the same basis as the corresponding liabilities. As of April 30, 2014 and January 31, 2014, the combined current and long-term liabilities for these matters were $3.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The corresponding current and long-term indemnification assets associated with these liabilities were $2.3 million at both April 30, 2014 and January 31, 2014.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. At the acquisition date, goodwill resulting from a business combination is assigned to those reporting units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Reporting units may either be at, or one level below, our operating segment level.

Goodwill activity for the three months ended April 30, 2014, in total and by reportable segment, was as follows:

In April 2011, we entered into a credit agreement (together with the subsequent amendments discussed herein, the “Credit Agreement") with our lenders and concurrently terminated a prior credit agreement. The Credit Agreement provided for $770.0 million of secured credit facilities, comprised of $600.0 million of term loans maturing in October 2017 (the “April 2011 Term Loans) and a $170.0 million revolving credit facility maturing in April 2016 (the “2011 Revolving Credit Facility”), subject to increase (up to a maximum increase of $300.0 million) and reduction from time to time.

The April 2011 Term Loans were subject to an original issuance discount of 0.50%, or $3.0 million, resulting in net proceeds of $597.0 million. The discount was being amortized as interest expense over the term of the April 2011 Term Loans using the effective interest method. We incurred debt issuance costs of $14.8 million associated with the Credit Agreement, which were deferred and were classified within other assets, and were being amortized as interest expense over the term of the Credit Agreement.

Table of Contents

On March 6, 2013, we entered into an amendment and restatement agreement with our lenders, providing for the amendment and restatement of the Credit Agreement. This amendment and restatement agreement provided for $850.0 million of senior secured credit facilities, comprised of (i) $650.0 million of term loans maturing in September 2019 (the "March 2013 Term Loans") and (ii) a $200.0 million revolving credit facility maturing in March 2018 (the “2013 Revolving Credit Facility”), subject to increase (up to a maximum increase of $300.0 million) and reduction from time to time.

The March 2013 Term Loans were subject to an original issuance discount of 0.50%, or $3.3 million, resulting in net proceeds of $646.7 million. The discount was being amortized as interest expense over the term of the March 2013 Term Loans using the effective interest method.

The majority of the proceeds of the March 2013 Term Loans were used to repay all $576.0 million of outstanding April 2011 Term Loans at the March 6, 2013 closing date of the amendment and restatement agreement. There were no outstanding borrowings under the 2011 Revolving Credit Facility at the closing date.

As further described below, on March 7, 2014, the March 2013 Term Loans were extinguished and replaced with the March 2014 Term Loans, and the basis for determining the interest rate on borrowings under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility was also amended.

From March 6, 2013 through March 6, 2014, the March 2013 Term Loans and borrowings under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility, if any, incurred interest, payable quarterly or, in the case of Eurodollar loans with an interest period of three months or shorter, at the end of any interest period, at a per annum rate of, at our election:

(a) in the case of Eurodollar loans, the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 3.00% (or, if our corporate credit ratings are BB- and Ba3 or better, 2.75%). The Adjusted LIBO Rate is the greater of (i) 1.00% per annum and (ii) the product of the LIBO Rate and Statutory Reserves (both as defined in the Credit Agreement), and

(b) in the case of Base Rate loans, the Base Rate plus 2.00% (or, if our corporate credit ratings are BB- and Ba3 or better, 1.75%). The Base Rate is the greatest of (i) the administrative agent's prime rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.50% and (iii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%.

As of January 31, 2014, the interest rate on the March 2013 Term Loans was 4.00%.

At the March 6, 2013 closing date of the amendment and restatement agreement, there were $11.0 million of unamortized deferred fees and $2.2 million of unamortized original issuance discount associated with the April 2011 Term Loans and the 2011 Revolving Credit Facility. Of these $11.0 million of unamortized deferred fees, $3.5 million were associated with commitments under the 2011 Revolving Credit Facility provided by lenders that continued to provide revolving credit commitments under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility and therefore continued to be deferred, and were being amortized over the remaining term of the Credit Agreement. The remaining $7.5 million of unamortized deferred fees and the $2.2 million unamortized original issuance discount, all of which related to the April 2011 Term Loans, were written off as a $9.7 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the year ended January 31, 2014.

We incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $7.5 million associated with the March 2013 Term Loans and the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility, which were deferred and classified within other assets and were being amortized as interest expense over the remaining term of the Credit Agreement. Of these deferred costs, $5.0 million were associated with the March 2013 Term Loans and were being amortized using the effective interest rate method, and $2.5 million were associated with the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility and were being amortized on a straight-line basis.

We are required to pay a commitment fee equal to 0.50% per annum of the undrawn portion on the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility, payable quarterly, and customary administrative agent and letter of credit fees. These fees were unchanged from the 2011 Revolving Credit Facility.

We were required to make principal payments of $1.6 million per quarter on the March 2013 Term Loans through August 1, 2019, with the remaining balance due in September 2019.

During the three months ended April 30, 2014, we entered into four separate amendments to the Credit Agreement as described below. On February 3, 2014, in connection with the acquisition of KANA, we borrowed $125.0 million under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility and entered into Amendment No. 1 pursuant to which, on such date, we incurred $300.0 million of incremental term loans (the “February 2014 Term Loans”). The net proceeds of these borrowings were used to fund a portion of the KANA purchase price.

Table of Contents

The February 2014 Term Loans were subject to an original issuance discount of 0.25%, or $0.8 million, which is being amortized as interest expense over the term of the February 2014 Term Loans using the effective interest method.

The February 2014 Term Loans bear interest, payable quarterly or, in the case of Eurodollar loans with an interest period of three months or less, at the end of the applicable interest period, at a per annum rate of, at our election:

(a) in the case of Eurodollar loans, the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 2.75%. The Adjusted LIBO Rate is the greater of (i) 0.75% per annum and (ii) the product of (x) the LIBO Rate and (y) Statutory Reserves (both as defined in the Credit Agreement), and

(b) in the case of Base Rate loans, the Base Rate plus 1.75%. The Base Rate is the greatest of (i) the administrative agent’s prime rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.50% and (iii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%.

As of April 30, 2014, the interest rate on the February 2014 Term Loans was 3.50%. Including the impact of the 0.25% original issuance discount and related deferred debt issuance costs, the effective interest rate on the February 2014 Term Loans was approximately 4.02% at such date.

We incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $7.0 million associated with the February 2014 Term Loans, which have been deferred and are classified within other assets and are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the February 2014 Term Loans using the effective interest rate method.

We are required to make principal payments of $0.8 million per quarter on the February 2014 Term Loans commencing on May 1, 2014 and continuing through August 1, 2019, with the remaining balance due in September 2019. Optional prepayments of the February 2014 Term Loans are permitted without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs associated with the prepayment of loans bearing interest based on LIBO Rates and a 1.0% premium applicable in the event of specified repricing transactions prior to September 8, 2014.

On February 3, 2014, we also entered into Amendment No. 2 to, among other things, (i) permit us to increase the permitted amount of additional incremental term loans and revolving credit commitments under the Credit Agreement (beyond the February 2014 Term Loans borrowed under Amendment No. 1) by up to, in the aggregate, $200.0 million plus an additional amount such that the First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in Amendment No. 2) would not exceed the specified maximum ratio set forth therein, (ii) increase the size of certain negative covenant basket carve-outs, (iii) permit us to issue Permitted Convertible Indebtedness (as defined in Amendment No. 2), and (iv) permit us to refinance all or a portion of any existing class of term loans under the Credit Agreement with replacement term loans.

Further, on February 3, 2014, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to extend by one year, to January 31, 2016, the step-down date of the leverage ratio covenant applicable to our 2013 Revolving Credit Facility and, subject to the effectiveness of Amendment No. 4 (as described below), reprice the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility to the interest rate applicable to the February 2014 Term Loans.

On March 7, 2014, we entered into Amendment No. 4 to refinance all $643.5 million of outstanding March 2013 Term Loans at that date with $643.5 million of new term loans (the “March 2014 Term Loans”). The provisions for determining the interest rate on the March 2014 Term Loans is identical to such provisions for the February 2014 Term Loans. The repricing of the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility contemplated by Amendment No. 3 became effective on March 7, 2014, upon the effectiveness of Amendment No. 4.

As of April 30, 2014, the interest rate on the March 2014 Term Loans was 3.50%. Including the impact the related deferred debt issuance costs, the effective interest rate on the March 2014 Term Loans was approximately 3.58% at such date.

We are required to make principal payments of $1.6 million per quarter on the March 2014 Term Loans through August 1, 2019, with the remaining balance due in September 2019. Optional prepayments of the loans are permitted without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs associated with the prepayment of loans bearing interest based on LIBO Rates. The March 2014 Term Loans otherwise retained all of the terms and conditions of the March 2013 Term Loans.

The loans under the Credit Agreement are subject to mandatory prepayment requirements with respect to certain asset sales, excess cash flows (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and certain other events. Prepayments are applied first to the eight

Table of Contents

immediately following scheduled term loan principal payments, then pro rata to other remaining scheduled term loan principal payments, if any, and thereafter as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement.

The refinancing of the March 2013 Term Loans with the March 2014 Term Loans pursuant to Amendment No. 4 was accounted for as an extinguishment of the March 2013 Term Loans, and as a result, $4.3 million of unamortized deferred fees and $2.8 million of unamortized original issuance discount associated with the March 2013 Term Loans as of the March 7, 2014 effective date of Amendment No. 4 were written off as a $7.1 million loss on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended April 30, 2014.

We incurred $2.5 million of fees in consideration of Amendment No. 4, which have been deferred and are classified within other assets and are being amortized as interest expense over the remaining term of the March 2014 Term Loans using the effective interest rate method. There was no original issuance discount on the March 2014 Term Loans.

Borrowings under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility were $87.0 million at April 30, 2014. The initial interest rate on the February 3, 2014 borrowings under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility was 4.00%, but was adjusted to 3.50% on March 7, 2014, as further described above, and remained at 3.50% at April 30, 2014.

As of April 30, 2014, future scheduled principal payments on the February 2014 Term Loans and March 2014 Term Loans are as presented in the following table:



(in thousands)	February 2014		March 2014

2020	285,750		612,934
Total	$	300,000	$	643,500

We incurred interest on borrowings under our credit facilities of $9.2 million and $6.4 million during the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In addition, we recorded $0.7 million and $0.6 million during the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for amortization of our deferred debt issuance costs, which is also reported within interest expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We also recorded $0.1 million during each of the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013 for amortization of original issuance term loan discounts, which is also reported within interest expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries that have elected to be disregarded for U.S. tax purposes, and are secured by security interests in substantially all of our and their assets, subject to certain exceptions detailed in the Credit Agreement and related ancillary documents.

The Credit Agreement contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, which include limitations on us and our subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness, liens, nature of business, investments and loans, distributions, acquisitions, dispositions of assets, sale-leaseback transactions and transactions with affiliates. The 2013 Revolving Credit Facility also contains a financial covenant that requires us to maintain a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) of no greater than 5.00 to 1 until January 31, 2016 (as amended on February 3, 2014 by Amendment No. 3, as described above) and no greater than 4.50 to 1 thereafter (the "Leverage Ratio Covenant"). The limitations imposed by the covenants are subject to certain exceptions as detailed in the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement provides for certain customary events of default with corresponding grace periods. These events of default include failure to pay principal or interest when due under the Credit Agreement, failure to comply with covenants, any representation or warranty made by us proving to be inaccurate in any material respect, defaults under certain other indebtedness of ours or our subsidiaries, the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with respect to us and certain insolvency or receivership events affecting us or our significant subsidiaries. Upon the occurrence of an event of default resulting from a violation of the Leverage Ratio Covenant, the lenders under our 2013 Revolving Credit Facility may require us to immediately repay outstanding borrowings under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility and may terminate their commitments to provide loans under that facility. A violation of the Leverage Ratio Covenant would not, by

Table of Contents

itself, result in an event of default under the February 2014 Term Loans or March 2014 Term Loans but may trigger a cross-default under the term loans in the event we are required to repay outstanding borrowings under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility. Upon the occurrence of other events of default, the lenders may require us to immediately repay all outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the lenders under our 2013 Revolving Credit Facility may terminate their commitments to provide loans under the facility.

Our other debt at April 30, 2014 consisted of $0.1 million of development bank and government debt, related to a past business combination.

8.	STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Dividends on Common Stock

We did not declare or pay any dividends on our common stock during the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013. Commencing in May 2007, with our issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and our entry into a prior credit agreement, and continuing under the terms of our current Credit Agreement, we are subject to certain restrictions on declaring and paying dividends on our common stock. Our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was canceled on February 4, 2013 in connection with the CTI Merger, further details of which appear in Note 14, "Merger with CTI".

Treasury Stock

Repurchased shares of common stock are recorded as treasury stock, at cost. At April 30, 2014 and January 31, 2014, we held approximately 302,000 shares of treasury stock with a cost of $8.0 million.

We did not acquire any treasury stock during the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013.

9.	CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

On May 25, 2007, we entered into an agreement with CTI whereby CTI purchased 293,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for an aggregate cash purchase price of $293.0 million.

On February 4, 2013, the CTI Merger was completed and eliminated CTI's majority ownership and control of us. Each of the 293,000 outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, all of which was held by CTI, was canceled upon completion of the CTI Merger. Upon cancellation of these 293,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, our authorized shares of preferred stock were reduced from 2,500,000 shares to 2,207,000 shares, in accordance with the certificate of designation for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

Further details regarding the CTI Merger appear in Note 14, "Merger Agreement with CTI".


10.	INCOME TAXES

Our interim provision for income taxes is measured using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items that occur within the periods presented. The comparison of our effective tax rate between periods is significantly impacted by the level and mix of earnings and losses by tax jurisdiction, foreign income tax rate differentials, amount of permanent book to tax differences, the impact of unrecognized tax benefits, and the effects of valuation allowances on certain loss jurisdictions.

For the three months ended April 30, 2014, we recorded an income tax benefit of $42.1 million on a pre-tax loss of $13.3 million, which represented an effective income tax benefit rate of 317.2%. The current period income tax benefit is primarily attributable to the release of $45.2 million of Verint valuation allowances. We maintain valuation allowances on our net U.S. deferred income tax assets related to federal and certain state jurisdictions. In connection with the acquisition of KANA, we recorded deferred income tax liabilities primarily attributable to acquired intangible assets to the extent the amortization will not be deductible for tax purposes. Under accounting guidelines, because the amortization of the intangible assets in future periods provides a source of taxable income, we expect to realize a portion of our existing deferred income tax assets. As such, we have reduced the valuation allowance recorded on our deferred income tax assets to the extent of the deferred income tax liabilities recorded. Because the valuation allowance related to existing Verint deferred income tax assets, the impact of the release is reflected as a discrete income tax benefit and not as a component of the KANA acquisition accounting. The effective income tax rate was also affected by the mix and levels of income and losses among taxing jurisdictions. Pre-tax income in our profitable jurisdictions, where we recorded tax provisions, was less than our domestic losses where we maintain valuation allowances and did not record the related tax benefits. Excluding the income tax benefit attributable to the valuation allowance release, the result was an income tax provision of $3.1 million on a pre-tax loss $13.3 million, resulting in a negative effective tax rate of 23.2%.

Table of Contents

For the three months ended April 30, 2013, we recorded a $3.1 million provision for income taxes on a pre-tax loss of $4.8 million, which represented a negative effective income tax rate of 64.2%. The income tax provision does not include income tax benefits on losses incurred by certain domestic operations where we maintain valuation allowances and is mainly the result of the activities of profitable jurisdictions. Our pre-tax income in profitable jurisdictions, where we record tax provisions, was lower than domestic losses where we maintain valuation allowances and do not record tax benefits, resulting in a negative effective income tax rate.

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

We had unrecognized tax benefits of $151.5 million and $145.4 million (excluding interest and penalties) as of April 30, 2014 and January 31, 2014, respectively. The accrued liability for interest and penalties was $10.2 million and $8.7 million at April 30, 2014 and January 31, 2014, respectively. Interest and penalties are recorded as a component of the provision for income taxes in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of April 30, 2014 and January 31, 2014, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact our effective tax rate were approximately $145.8 million and $139.7 million, respectively. We regularly assess the adequacy of our provisions for income tax contingencies in accordance with the applicable authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes. As a result, we may adjust the reserves for unrecognized 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 tax benefits at April 30, 2014 could decrease by approximately $3.2 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 taxes, the adjustment of deferred income taxes including the need for additional valuation allowances, and the recognition of 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 tax benefits; however, an estimate of such changes cannot reasonably be made.


11.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance.

Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. An instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. This fair value hierarchy consists of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

•Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•

Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; or


•	Level 3: unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.

Table of Contents

We review the fair value hierarchy classification of our applicable assets and liabilities at each reporting period. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in transfers within the fair value measurement hierarchy. There were no transfers between levels of the fair value measurement hierarchy during the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following as of April 30, 2014 and January 31, 2014:

Changes in fair value of contingent consideration are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Table of Contents

Fair Value Measurements

Money Market Funds - We value our money market funds using quoted active market prices for such funds.

Short-term Investments - Short-term investments represent investments in commercial paper and corporate bonds classified as available-for-sale. Investments in commercial paper with remaining maturities of three months or less at time of purchase are classified within cash and cash equivalents. The fair values of these investments 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 exchange rates using readily observable market prices for similar contracts.

Contingent Consideration - Business Combinations - The fair value of the contingent consideration related to business combinations 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 1.1% to 40.0% in our calculations of the estimated fair values of our contingent consideration liabilities as of April 30, 2014. We utilized discount rates ranging from 1.1% to 27.0% in our calculations of the estimated fair values of our contingent consideration liabilities as of January 31, 2014.

Other Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

The estimated fair values of our term loans and our revolving credit borrowings at April 30, 2014 were approximately $941 million and $80 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of our term loans at January 31, 2014 was $647 million. We had no revolving credit borrowings at January 31, 2014. The estimated fair values of our term loans are based upon indicative bid and ask prices as determined by the agent responsible for the syndication of our term loans. We consider these inputs to be within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because we cannot reasonably observe activity in the limited market in which participations in our term loans are traded. The indicative prices of our term loans provided to us as at each of April 30, 2014 and January 31, 2014 did not significantly differ from par value. The estimated fair value of our revolving credit borrowings is based upon indicative market values provided by one of our lenders.

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

In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we also measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Our non-financial assets, including goodwill, intangible assets 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. Further details regarding our regular impairment reviews appear in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies".


12.	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Table of Contents

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 derivative financial instruments to manage our short-term exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We utilize foreign currency forward contracts to hedge certain operational cash flow exposures 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, primarily the Israeli shekel and the Canadian dollar. We also periodically utilize foreign currency forward contracts to manage exposures resulting from forecasted customer collections to be remitted in currencies other than the applicable functional currency, and exposures from cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments denominated in currencies other than the applicable functional currency. Our joint venture, which has a Singapore dollar functional currency, also utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to exchange rate fluctuations related to settlements of liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars. These foreign currency forward contracts are reported at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets and 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.

The counterparties to our derivative financial instruments consist of several major international financial institutions. We regularly monitor the financial strength of these institutions. While the counterparties to these contracts expose us to credit-related losses in the event of a counterparty’s non-performance, the risk would be limited to the unrealized gains on such affected contracts. We do not anticipate any such losses.

Certain of these foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments under accounting guidance for derivatives, and gains and losses from changes in their fair values are therefore reported in other income (expense), net. Changes in the fair values of foreign currency forward contracts that are designated and effective as cash flow hedges are recorded net of related tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and are reclassified to the condensed consolidated statements of operations when the effects of the item being hedged are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Notional Amounts of Derivative Financial Instruments

Our outstanding derivative financial instruments consisted only of foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts of $131.8 million and $127.6 million as of April 30, 2014 and January 31, 2014, respectively.

Fair Values of Derivative Financial Instruments

The fair values of our derivative financial instruments as of April 30, 2014 and January 31, 2014 were as follows:



	April 30, 2014
	Assets			Liabilities
(in thousands)	Balance Sheet Classification	Fair Value		Balance Sheet Classification	Fair Value
Derivative financial instruments designated as hedging instruments:
Foreign currency forward contracts	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	2,147	Accrued expenses and other liabilities	$	319
Total derivative financial instruments designated as hedging instruments		$	2,147		$	319

Derivative financial instruments not designated as hedging instruments:
Foreign currency forward contracts	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	7	Accrued expenses and other liabilities	$	601
Total derivative financial instruments not designated as hedging instruments		$	7		$	601

Foreign currency forward contracts	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	221	Accrued expenses and other liabilities	$	77
Total derivative financial instruments not designated as hedging instruments		$	221		$	77

Derivative Financial Instruments in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships

The effects of derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedging instruments as of April 30, 2014 and January 31, 2014, and for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:



	Net Gains Recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)				Classification of Net Gains Reclassified from Other Comprehensive Loss into the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations	Net Gains Reclassified from Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) into the Consolidated Statements of Operations
	April 30,		January 31,			Three Months Ended April 30,
(in thousands)	2014		2014			2014		2013
Foreign currency forward contracts	$	1,694	$	1,485	Operating Expenses	$	830	$	780

There were no gains or losses from ineffectiveness of these hedges recorded for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013. All of the foreign currency forward contracts underlying the $1.7 million of net unrealized gains recorded in our accumulated other comprehensive loss at April 30, 2014 mature within twelve months, and therefore we expect all such gains to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months.

Derivative Financial Instruments Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

Gains (losses) recognized on derivative financial instruments not designated as hedging instruments in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:



	Classification in Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations	Three Months Ended April 30,
(in thousands)		2014			2013
Foreign currency forward contracts	Other income (expense), net	$	(737	)	$	430
Total		$	(737	)	$	430


13.	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

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, 2014 and 2013:



	Three Months Ended April 30,
(in thousands)	2014		2013
Component of condensed consolidated statements of operations:
Cost of revenue - product	$	198	$	130
Cost of revenue - service and support	887		267
Research and development, net	1,202		613
Selling, general and administrative	9,202		5,223
Stock-based compensation expense	$	11,489	$	6,233

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense by type of award for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013:



	Three Months Ended April 30,
(in thousands)	2014		2013
Component of stock-based compensation expense:
Restricted stock units and restricted stock awards	$	10,389	$	5,361
Stock options	15		53
Phantom stock units	21		31
Stock bonus program	1,064		788
Stock-based compensation expense	$	11,489	$	6,233

Total stock-based compensation expense by classification was as follows for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013:



	Three Months Ended April 30,
(in thousands)	2014		2013
Equity-classified awards	$	10,228	$	5,719
Liability-classified awards	1,261		514
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	11,489	$	6,233

The increase in stock-based compensation expense in the three months ended April 30, 2014, compared to the corresponding prior-year period, resulted primarily from the combination of an increase in the number of outstanding RSUs along with a general increase in the price of our common stock, which is used to determine the grant-date fair value of an RSU.

Stock Options

We have generally not granted stock options subsequent to January 31, 2006, other than in connection with several business combinations whereby stock options to purchase shares of the acquired companies were converted into stock options to purchase shares of our common stock.

The following table summarizes stock option activity and related information for the three months ended April 30, 2014:



(in thousands, except per share data)	Stock Options		Weighted-Average Exercise Price
Options outstanding, January 31, 2014	516		$	34.60
Options exercised	(181	)	$	34.56
Options outstanding, April 30, 2014	335		$	34.62
Options exercisable at April 30, 2014	335		$	34.62

Cash proceeds received from the exercise of stock options were $6.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2014.

At April 30, 2014, there was no unrecognized compensation expense associated with outstanding stock options, because all outstanding stock options were fully vested at that date.

Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock Awards

We periodically award restricted stock units, as well as shares of restricted stock, 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.

The following table summarizes restricted stock unit activity and related information for the three months ended April 30, 2014:



(in thousands, except per share data)	RSU's		Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
RSU's outstanding, January 31, 2014	2,250		$	33.77
RSU's granted	1,405		$	45.85
RSU's released	(251	)	$	32.95
RSU's forfeited	(23	)	$	33.81
RSU's outstanding, April 30, 2014	3,381		$	38.86

Substantially all of the restricted stock units granted during the year ended January 31, 2013 included a provision which allows those 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, 2014, for such awards that remain outstanding, settlement of these awards with cash payments was not considered probable, and therefore these awards have been accounted for as equity-classified awards.

As of April 30, 2014, there was approximately $92.8 million of total unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested restricted stock units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. The unrecognized compensation expense does not include compensation expense related to shares for which a grant date has been established but the requisite service period has not begun.

Phantom Stock Units

We have periodically issued phantom stock units to certain non-officer employees that settle, or are expected to settle, with cash payments upon vesting. Like equity-settled awards, phantom stock units are awarded with vesting conditions and are subject to certain forfeiture provisions prior to vesting.

Phantom stock unit activity for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013 was not significant.

Stock Bonus Program

In September 2011, our board of directors approved a stock bonus program under which eligible employees may receive a portion of their bonuses in the form of discounted shares of our common stock. Executive officers were eligible to participate in this program for the year ended January 31, 2014 to the extent that shares remained available for awards following the enrollment of all other participants, but were not eligible to participate in previous years. Obligations under this program are accounted for as liabilities, 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 common stock determined using a discounted average price of our common stock, as described above.

For the year ended January 31, 2014, our board of directors approved up to 150,000 shares of common stock for awards under this program and a discount of 15% (the "2014 stock bonus program"). Awards earned under the 2014 stock bonus program are expected to be issued during the first half of the year ending January 31, 2015.

On March 21, 2014, our board of directors approved up to 125,000 shares of common stock, and a discount of 15%, for awards under our stock bonus program for the year ending January 31, 2015. Executive officers will be permitted to participate in this program for the year ending January 31, 2015, but only to the extent that shares remain available for awards following the enrollment of all other participants. Shares awarded to executive officers with respect to the 15% discount will be subject to a one year vesting period.

Total accrued liabilities for stock bonus programs were $5.9 million and $4.9 million as of April 30, 2014 and January 31, 2014, respectively.

14. MERGER WITH CTI

Prior to February 4, 2013, Comverse Technology, Inc. ("CTI") beneficially owned a majority of our common stock (assuming the conversion of CTI’s holdings of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into common stock) and held a majority of the voting power of our common stock. As of January 31, 2013, shortly before the CTI Merger (as described below), CTI’s beneficial ownership position in us was approximately 53.5%.

On August 12, 2012, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger agreement with CTI (the "CTI Merger Agreement"), providing for the merger of CTI with and into our new, wholly owned subsidiary (the "CTI Merger"). The CTI Merger was completed on February 4, 2013. The CTI Merger eliminated CTI's majority ownership and control of us.

At the closing of the CTI Merger, approximately 28.6 million newly issued shares of our common stock were exchanged for approximately 220.0 million issued and outstanding shares of CTI common stock. In addition, the 16.3 million shares of our common stock and all shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held by CTI at the time of the CTI Merger were canceled.

Holders of shares of our common stock immediately prior to the completion of the CTI Merger, other than CTI, continued to own their existing shares, which were not affected by the CTI Merger.

Prior to the CTI Merger, CTI had distributed to its shareholders or otherwise disposed of substantially all of its assets, other than its interests in us, including the distribution of all of the outstanding common stock of its subsidiary, Comverse, Inc. ("Comverse") to its shareholders (the “Comverse share distribution”). As a result, at the time of the CTI Merger, the net assets of CTI consisted primarily of its controlling equity interests in Verint, as well as certain residual cash and cash equivalents and other sundry net assets. In addition, CTI had net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards for income tax reporting purposes, and other tax attributes. No CTI employees, operations or business processes moved to the combined company in the CTI Merger. As a result, our existing net assets and operations represented the vast majority of the net assets and all of the operations of the combined company.

In connection with the Comverse share distribution, CTI and Comverse entered into several agreements to govern certain ongoing relationships between CTI and Comverse after the Comverse share distribution and to provide for an orderly transition.

In one of these agreements, Comverse agreed to indemnify CTI and its affiliates (including Verint following the CTI Merger) against certain losses arising as a result of the CTI Merger and the Comverse share distribution. Certain of Comverse's indemnification obligations are capped at $25.0 million and certain obligations are uncapped. Pursuant to this agreement, at the closing of the CTI Merger, CTI placed $25.0 million into an escrow account to support indemnification claims to the extent made against Comverse by CTI and its affiliates (including Verint after the CTI Merger). The balance remaining in such escrow account on August 4, 2014, if any, will be released to Comverse.

Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement Impact

For financial reporting purposes, the CTI Merger was accounted for as our acquisition of CTI in a combination of entities under common control. We are the continuing reporting entity. As a result, upon completion of the CTI Merger on February 4, 2013, our consolidated stockholders' equity was adjusted to reflect the $285.5 million carrying value of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, all of which was held by CTI, and the $14.1 million carrying value of CTI's net assets (other than its equity interests in us), as increases to our additional paid-in capital. Prior to the CTI Merger, our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock had been classified as mezzanine equity on our consolidated balance sheet.


15.	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions with CTI

As discussed in Note 14, "Merger with CTI", on February 4, 2013 we completed the CTI Merger, which eliminated CTI's majority ownership and control of us. As of January 31, 2013, prior to the CTI Merger, CTI beneficially owned approximately 53.5%, and also held a majority of the voting power, of our common stock on an as-converted basis.

Other Related Party Transactions

Table of Contents

Our joint venture incurs certain operating expenses, including office rent and other administrative costs, and realizes revenue, under arrangements with one of its noncontrolling shareholders. Transactions with this noncontrolling shareholder of the joint venture during the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013 were not significant.


16.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Warranty Liability

The following table summarizes the activity in our warranty liability, which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013:

Legal Proceedings

On March 26, 2009, legal actions were commenced by Ms. Orit Deutsch, a former employee of our subsidiary, Verint Systems Limited ("VSL"), against VSL in the Tel Aviv Regional Labor Court (Case Number 4186/09) (the “Deutsch Labor Action”) and against CTI in the Tel Aviv Regional District Court (Case Number 1335/09) (the “Deutsch District Action”). In the Deutsch Labor Action, Ms. Deutsch filed a motion to approve a class action lawsuit on the grounds that she purports to represent a class of our employees and former employees who were granted Verint and CTI stock options and were allegedly damaged as a result of the suspension of option exercises during our previous extended filing delay period. In the Deutsch District Action, in addition to a small amount of individual damages, Ms. Deutsch is seeking to certify a class of plaintiffs who were allegedly damaged due to their inability to exercise Verint and CTI stock options as a result of alleged negligence by CTI in its financial reporting. The class certification motions do not specify an amount of damages. On February 8, 2010, the Deutsch Labor Action was dismissed for lack of material jurisdiction and was transferred to the Tel Aviv Regional District Court and consolidated with the Deutsch District Action. On March 16, 2009 and March 26, 2009, respectively, legal actions were commenced by Ms. Roni Katriel, a former employee of CTI's former subsidiary, Comverse Limited, against Comverse Limited in the Tel Aviv Regional Labor Court (Case Number 3444/09) (the “Katriel Labor Action”) and against CTI in the Tel Aviv Regional District Court (Case Number 1334/09) (the “Katriel District Action”). In the Katriel Labor Action, Ms. Katriel is seeking to certify a class of plaintiffs who were granted CTI stock options and were allegedly damaged as a result of the suspension of option exercises during CTI's previous extended filing delay period. In the Katriel District Action, in addition to a small amount of individual damages, Ms. Katriel is seeking to certify a class of plaintiffs who were allegedly damaged due to their inability to exercise CTI stock options as a result of alleged negligence by CTI in its financial reporting. The class certification motions do not specify an amount of damages. On March 2, 2010, the Labor Court ordered the transfer of the case to the District Court in Tel Aviv - Jaffa, based on an agreed motion filed by the parties requesting such transfer.

On April 4, 2012, Ms. Deutsch and Ms. Katriel filed an uncontested motion to consolidate and amend their claims and on June 7, 2012, the court allowed Ms. Deutsch and Ms. Katriel to file the consolidated class certification motion and an amended consolidated complaint against VSL, CTI, and Comverse Limited. Following CTI's announcement of its intention to effect the Comverse share distribution, on July 12, 2012, the plaintiffs filed a motion requesting that the District Court order CTI to set aside up to $150 million in assets to secure any future judgment. The District Court ruled that it would not decide this motion until the Deutsch and Katriel class certification motion was heard. On August 16, 2012, in light of the announcement of the signing of the CTI Merger Agreement, the plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to appeal this District Court ruling to the Israeli Supreme Court. We filed our response to this motion on September 6, 2012.

Prior to the consummation of the Comverse share distribution, CTI either sold or transferred substantially all of its business operations and assets (other than its equity ownership interests in us and Comverse) to Comverse or unaffiliated third parties. On October 31, 2012, CTI completed the Comverse share distribution, in which it distributed all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Comverse to CTI's shareholders. As a result of the Comverse share distribution, Comverse became an independent public company and ceased to be a wholly owned subsidiary of CTI, and CTI ceased to have any material assets other than its equity interest in us.

Table of Contents

We and the other defendants filed our responses to the complaint on November 11, 2012 and plaintiffs filed their replies on December 20, 2012. A pre-trial hearing for the case was held on December 25, 2012, during which all parties agreed to attempt to settle the dispute through mediation.

On February 4, 2013, we completed the CTI Merger. As a result of the CTI Merger, we have assumed certain rights and liabilities of CTI, including any liability of CTI arising out of the Deutsch District Action and the Katriel District Action. However, under the terms of the Distribution Agreement between CTI and Comverse relating to the Comverse share distribution, we, as successor to CTI, are entitled to indemnification from Comverse for any losses we suffer in our capacity as successor-in-interest to CTI in connection with the Deutsch District Action and the Katriel District Action.

On February 28, 2013, the mediation process began and, as of the date of this report, remains ongoing.

From time to time we or our subsidiaries may be involved in legal proceedings and/or litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the outcome of any current claims will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.


17.	SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the enterprise’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our Chief Executive Officer is our CODM.

We conduct our business through three operating segments—Enterprise Intelligence, Communications Intelligence, and Video Intelligence. Organizing our business through three operating segments allows us to align our resources and domain expertise to effectively address the Actionable Intelligence market. We address the Customer Engagement Optimization market opportunity through solutions from our Enterprise Intelligence segment. We address the Security Intelligence market opportunity through solutions from our Communications Intelligence segment and Video Intelligence segment, and we address the Fraud, Risk, and Compliance market opportunity through solutions from all three operating segments.

We measure the performance of our operating segments based upon operating segment revenue and operating segment contribution. Operating segment contribution includes segment revenue and expenses incurred directly by the segment, including material costs, service costs, research and development and selling, marketing, and administrative expenses. We do not allocate certain expenses, which include the majority of general and administrative expenses, facilities and communication expenses, purchasing expenses, manufacturing support and logistic expenses, depreciation and amortization, amortization of capitalized software development costs, stock-based compensation, and special charges such as restructuring costs when calculating operating segment contribution. These expenses are included in the unallocated expenses section of the table presented below. Revenue from transactions between our operating segments is not material.

Revenue adjustments represent revenue of acquired companies which is included within segment revenue reviewed by the CODM, but not recognizable within GAAP revenue. These adjustments primarily relate to the acquisition-date excess of the historical carrying value over the fair value of acquired companies’ future maintenance and service performance obligations. As the obligations are satisfied, we report our segment revenue using the historical carrying values of these obligations, which we believe better reflects our ongoing maintenance and service revenue streams, whereas GAAP revenue is reported using the obligations’ acquisition-date fair values.

With the exception of goodwill and acquired intangible assets, we do not identify or allocate our assets by operating segment. Consequently, it is not practical to present assets by operating segment. There were no material changes in the allocation of goodwill and acquired intangible assets by operating segment during the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013. The allocations of goodwill and acquired intangible assets by operating segment appear in Note 5, "Intangible Assets and Goodwill".

Operating results by segment for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following management’s discussion and analysis is provided to assist readers in understanding our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2014 and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in this report. This discussion contains a number of forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and all of which could be affected by uncertainties and risks. Our actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors including, but not limited to, those described under “Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements”.

Recent Developments

On February 3, 2014, we completed the acquisition of KANA for net cash consideration of $516.6 million, through the merger of KANA Software, Inc.'s parent holding company, Kay Technology Holdings, Inc. with an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of ours, with Kay Technology Holdings, Inc. continuing as the surviving company and as our wholly owned subsidiary.

The acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand, $300.0 million of incremental term loans incurred in connection with an amendment to our Credit Agreement, and $125.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

On March 31, 2014, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of UTX, a provider of certain mobile device tracking solutions for security applications, from UTX Limited. UTX Limited was our supplier of these products to our Communications Intelligence operating segment prior to the transaction. The purchase price consisted of $82.9 million of cash paid at closing, subject to adjustment, and we agreed to make potential additional future cash payments to UTX Limited of up to $1.5 million, contingent upon the achievement of certain performance targets over the period from closing through June 30, 2014. The cash paid at closing was funded with cash on hand. UTX is based in the EMEA region.

Further details regarding our acquisitions and our long-term debt appear in Note 4, "Business Combinations" and Note 6, "Long-Term Debt", respectively, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included under Item 1 of this report.

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, 2014 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 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, 2014, and include the following:


•	Revenue recognition;


•	Accounting for business combinations;


•	Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets;


•	Accounting for income taxes;


•	Contingencies;


•	Accounting for stock-based compensation;


•	Accounting for cost of revenue; and


•	Allowance for doubtful accounts

We did not identify any significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended April 30, 2014.

Results of Operations

Seasonality and Cyclicality

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

Three Months Ended April 30, 2014 compared to Three Months Ended April 30, 2013. Our revenue increased approximately $52.6 million, or 26%, to $257.4 million in the three months ended April 30, 2014 from $204.8 million in the three months ended April 30, 2013. In our Communications Intelligence segment, revenue increased approximately $13.0 million, or 21%, from $63.1 million in the three months ended April 30, 2013 to $76.1 million in the three months ended April 30, 2014. The increase consisted of a $15.9 million increase in product revenue was partially offset by a $2.9 million decrease in service and support revenue. In our Enterprise Intelligence segment, revenue increased approximately $41.9 million, or 37%, to $154.8 million in the three months ended April 30, 2014 from $112.9 million in the three months ended April 30, 2013. The increase consisted of a $34.1 million increase in service and support revenue and a $7.8 million increase in product revenue. Enterprise Intelligence segment revenues include approximately $29.9 million of revenues from KANA. In our Video Intelligence segment, revenue decreased approximately $2.4 million, or 8%, from $28.8 million in the three months ended April 30, 2013 to $26.4 million in the three months ended April 30, 2014, primarily due to a decrease in product revenue. For additional details on our revenue by segment, see "—Revenue by Operating Segment". Revenue in the Americas, EMEA, and the Asia-Pacific region represented approximately 53%, 27%, and 20% of our total revenue, respectively, in the three months ended April 30, 2014, compared to approximately 54%, 21%, and 25%, respectively, in the three months ended April 30, 2013. Further details of changes in revenue are provided below.

Operating income was $1.0 million in the three months ended April 30, 2014 compared to $13.7 million in the three months ended April 30, 2013. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to a $35.8 million increase in operating expenses, from $117.8 million to $153.6 million, partially offset by a $23.1 million increase in gross profit from $131.5 million to $154.6 million. The increase in operating expenses consisted of a $19.3 million increase in selling, general and administrative expense, an $11.3 million increase in net research and development expenses, and a $5.2 million increase in amortization of other acquired intangible assets. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to increased gross profit in our Enterprise Intelligence segment primarily due to the acquisition of KANA. Further details of changes in operating income are provided below.

Net income attributable to Verint Systems Inc. common shares was $28.0 million, and diluted net income per common share was $0.51, in the three months ended April 30, 2014 compared to a net loss attributable to Verint Systems Inc. common shares of $9.3 million, and diluted net loss per common share of $0.18, in the three months ended April 30, 2013. The increase in net income attributable to Verint Systems Inc. common shares and diluted net income per common share in the three months ended

Table of Contents

April 30, 2014 was primarily due a $45.2 million decrease in our provision for income taxes (from a $3.1 million expense for three months ended April 30, 2013 to a $42.1 million benefit for three months ended April 30, 2014), a $2.6 million decrease in losses upon extinguishment of debt recorded during the three months ended April 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2013, a $4.3 million decrease in total other expense, net, due primarily to a $4.9 million increase in foreign currency gains, net, (from a loss of $1.7 million during the three months ended April 30, 2013 to a gain of $3.2 million during three months ended April 30, 2014), partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in losses in derivative financial instruments, net. These increases to net income attributable to Verint Systems Inc. common shares were partially offset by our decreased operating income, as described above, and a $3.0 million increase in interest expense. Further details of these changes are provided below.

A portion of our business is conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and therefore our revenue and operating expenses are affected by fluctuations in applicable foreign currency exchange rates as noted above. When comparing average exchange rates for the three months ended April 30, 2014 to average exchange rates for the three months ended April 30, 2013, while the U.S. dollar strengthened relative to the Australian dollar, Brazilian real, Japanese yen, and Singapore dollar, it weakened relative to the British pound sterling and euro, resulting in an overall increase in our revenue, cost of revenue and operating expenses on a U.S. dollar-denominated basis. For the three months ended April 30, 2014, had foreign exchange rates remained unchanged from rates in effect for the three months ended April 30, 2013, our revenue would have been approximately $2.0 million lower and our cost of revenue and operating expenses would have been approximately $3.8 million lower, which would have resulted in a $1.8 million increase in operating income.

As of April 30, 2014, we employed approximately 4,400 employees, including part-time employees and certain contractors, as compared to approximately 3,200 employees as of April 30, 2013.

Revenue by Operating Segment

The following table sets forth revenue for each of our three operating segments for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013:



	Three Months Ended April 30,				% Change
(in thousands)	2014		2013		2014 - 2013
Enterprise Intelligence	$	154,818	$	112,923	37%
Communications Intelligence	76,135		63,065		21%
Video Intelligence	26,440		28,798		(8)%
Total revenue	$	257,393	$	204,786	26%

Enterprise Intelligence Segment

Three Months Ended April 30, 2014 compared to Three Months Ended April 30, 2013. Enterprise Intelligence revenue increased approximately $41.9 million, or 37%, from $112.9 million in the three months ended April 30, 2013 to $154.8 million in the three months ended April 30, 2014. The increase consisted of a $34.1 million increase in service and support revenue, and a $7.8 million increase in product revenue. Of the $34.1 million increase in service and support revenue, $22.6 million was due to the acquisition of KANA. The remaining $11.5 million increase in service and support revenue was primarily due to an increase in our customer install base and the related support revenue generated from this customer base during the three months ended April 30, 2014, as well as increased revenue from new service offerings in the three months ended April 30, 2014. Of the $7.8 million increase in product revenue, $7.3 million was due to the acquisition of KANA. The remaining $0.5 million increase in product revenue was primarily due to an increase in product sales to new and existing customers during the three months ended April 30, 2014. The continued growth of service revenue is attributable to various factors, including an increase in services associated with customer product upgrades, a higher component of service offerings in our standard arrangements, and our growing install base. The aggregate value of executed license arrangements, which comprises the majority of our product revenue, can fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

Communications Intelligence Segment

Three Months Ended April 30, 2014 compared to Three Months Ended April 30, 2013. Communications Intelligence revenue increased approximately $13.0 million, or 21%, from $63.1 million in the three months ended April 30, 2013 to $76.1 million in the three months ended April 30, 2014. The increase consisted of a $15.9 million increase in product revenue, partially offset by a $2.9 million decrease in service and support revenue. The increase in product revenue was primarily due to an increase in

Table of Contents

product deliverables to customers and an increase in progress realized during the current year on projects recognized using the percentage of completion ("POC") method, some of which commenced in the previous fiscal year. The decrease in service and support revenue was primarily attributable to the timing of the annual renewal of a large product maintenance agreement that was finalized after the end of the quarter.

Video Intelligence Segment

Three Months Ended April 30, 2014 compared to Three Months Ended April 30, 2013. Video Intelligence revenue decreased approximately $2.4 million, or 8%, from $28.8 million in the three months ended April 30, 2013 to $26.4 million in the three months ended April 30, 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $2.9 million decrease in product revenue, resulting from a reduction in sales of certain hardware products to a single customer during the three months ended April 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2013.

Volume and Price

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

Revenue by Product Revenue and Service and Support Revenue

We derive and report our revenue in two categories: (a) product revenue, including licensing of software products and sale of hardware products (which include software that works together with the hardware to deliver the product's essential functionality), and (b) service and support revenue, including revenue from installation services, post-contract customer support, project management, hosting services, SaaS, product warranties, consulting services, and training services. For multiple-element arrangements for which we are unable to establish vendor-specific objective evidence of one or more elements, we use various available indicators of fair value and apply our best judgment to reasonably classify the arrangement's revenue into product revenue and service and support revenue.

The following table sets forth product revenue and service and support revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013:



	Three Months Ended April 30,				% Change
(in thousands)	2014		2013		2014 - 2013
Product revenue	$	108,136	$	87,350	24%
Service and support revenue	149,257		117,436		27%
Total revenue	$	257,393	$	204,786	26%

Product Revenue

Three Months Ended April 30, 2014 compared to Three Months Ended April 30, 2013. Product revenue increased approximately $20.7 million, or 24%, from $87.4 million for the three months ended April 30, 2013 to $108.1 million for the three months ended April 30, 2014, resulting from a $15.9 million increase in our Communications Intelligence segment and a $7.8 million increase in our Enterprise Intelligence segment, partially offset by a $2.9 million decrease in our Video Intelligence segment.

For additional information see "— Revenue by Operating Segment".

Service and Support Revenue

Three Months Ended April 30, 2014 compared to Three Months Ended April 30, 2013. Service and support revenue increased approximately $31.9 million, or 27%, from $117.4 million for the three months ended April 30, 2013 to $149.3 million for the three months ended April 30, 2014. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $34.1 million in our Enterprise Intelligence segment, partially offset by a $2.9 million decrease in our Communications Intelligence segment.

Cost of Revenue

The following table sets forth cost of revenue by product and service and support, as well as amortization of acquired technology and backlog for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013:



	Three Months Ended April 30,				% Change
(in thousands)	2014		2013		2014 - 2013
Cost of product revenue	$	39,477	$	31,172	27%
Cost of service and support revenue	56,988		38,498		48%
Amortization of acquired technology and backlog	6,358		3,638		75%
Total cost of revenue	$	102,823	$	73,308	40%

We exclude certain costs of product revenue and certain costs of service and support revenue, including shared support costs, stock-based compensation, and asset impairment charges, among others, from the calculations of our operating segment gross margins.

Cost of Product Revenue

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

Our product gross margins are impacted by the mix of products that we sell from period to period. As with many other technology companies, our software products tend to have higher gross margins than our hardware products.

Three Months Ended April 30, 2014 compared to Three Months Ended April 30, 2013. Cost of product revenue increased approximately 27% from $31.2 million in the three months ended April 30, 2013 to $39.5 million in the three months ended April 30, 2014. Our overall product gross margins decreased to 63% in the three months ended April 30, 2014 from 64% in the three months ended April 30, 2013. Product gross margins in our Enterprise Intelligence segment increased from 91% in the three months ended April 30, 2013 to 92% in the three months ended April 30, 2014 primarily as a result of the inclusion of KANA's product gross margin, and a continued decrease in hardware sales as part of our Enterprise Intelligence segment's product offering. Product gross margins in our Communications Intelligence segment increased from 53% in the three months ended April 30, 2013 to 55% in the three months ended April 30, 2014 primarily due to a change in product mix. Product gross margins in our Video Intelligence segment were 57% in each of the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013.

Cost of Service and Support Revenue

Cost of service and support revenue primarily consists of employee compensation and related expenses, contractor costs, and travel expenses relating to installation, training, consulting, and maintenance services. Cost of service and support revenue also includes stock-based compensation expenses, facility costs, and other overhead expenses. In accordance with GAAP

and our accounting policy, the cost of revenue associated with the services is generally expensed as incurred in the period in which the services are performed, with the exception of certain transactions accounted for under the POC method.

Three Months Ended April 30, 2014 compared to Three Months Ended April 30, 2013. Cost of service and support revenue increased approximately 48% from $38.5 million in the three months ended April 30, 2013 to $57.0 million in the three months ended April 30, 2014. Employee compensation and related expenses increased $10.9 million, $9.8 million of which was attributable to increased headcount in connection with the acquisition of KANA. Contractor costs, travel expense, and materials expense incurred to provide services increased $2.1 million, $1.3 million, and $2.6 million, respectively, primarily due to the acquisition of KANA. Stock-based compensation expense attributable to service and support employees increased $0.6 million. Our overall service and support gross margins decreased from 67% in the three months ended April 30, 2013 to 62% in the three months ended April 30, 2014.

Amortization of Acquired Technology and Backlog

Amortization of acquired technology and backlog consists of amortization of technology assets and customer backlog acquired in connection with business combinations.

Three Months Ended April 30, 2014 compared to Three Months Ended April 30, 2013. Amortization of acquired technology and backlog increased approximately 75% from $3.6 million in the three months ended April 30, 2013 to $6.4 million in the three months ended April 30, 2014, primarily due to an increase in amortization expense of acquired technology-based intangible assets associated with business combinations that closed subsequent to the three months ended April 30, 2013.

Further discussion regarding our business combinations appears in Note 4, "Business Combinations" to our consolidated financial statements included under Item 1 of this report.

Research and Development, Net

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and subcontracting expenses, facility costs, and other allocated overhead, net of certain software development costs that are capitalized as well as reimbursements under government programs. Software development costs are capitalized upon the establishment of technological feasibility and continue to be capitalized through the general release of the related software product.

The following table sets forth research and development, net for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013:



	Three Months Ended April 30,				% Change
(in thousands)	2014		2013		2014 - 2013
Research and development, net	$	41,323	$	30,028	38%

Three Months Ended April 30, 2014 compared to Three Months Ended April 30, 2013. Research and development, net increased approximately $11.3 million, or 38%, from $30.0 million in the three months ended April 30, 2013 to $41.3 million in the three months ended April 30, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to a $9.9 million increase in employee compensation and related expenses, $4.5 million of which resulted from the acquisition of KANA during the three months ended April 30, 2014. The remaining increase in employee compensation expense was due to an increase in employee headcount in our Enterprise Intelligence and Communication Intelligence segments. Contractor expense increased approximately $0.5 million primarily due to increased use of contractors in our Communications Intelligence segment during the three months ended April 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2013. Stock-based compensation expense increased $0.6 million increase resulting from an increase in average amounts of outstanding restricted stock units, and continued increases in our stock price, which impacts the total stock-based compensation to be recognized over the vesting periods, in each case associated with our research and development employees.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and related expenses, professional fees, sales and marketing expenses, including travel, sales commissions and sales referral fees, facility costs, communication expenses, and other administrative expenses.

The following table sets forth selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013:



	Three Months Ended April 30,				% Change
(in thousands)	2014		2013		2014 - 2013
Selling, general and administrative	$	101,048	$	81,704	24%

Three Months Ended April 30, 2014 compared to Three Months Ended April 30, 2013. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $19.3 million, or 24%, from $81.7 million in the three months ended April 30, 2013 to $101.0 million in the three months ended April 30, 2014 primarily due to a $9.4 million increase in employee compensation and related expenses, $5.7 million of which was attributable to the acquisition of KANA, and the remainder of which was attributable to increased employee headcount in our Enterprise Intelligence and Communications Intelligence segments, as well

as an increase in employee headcount for corporate support employees. Stock-based compensation expense increased $4.0 million due primarily to an increase in average amounts of outstanding restricted stock units, and continued increases in our stock price, which impacts the total stock-based compensation to be recognized over the vesting periods. Also contributing to the increase in selling, general, and administrative expense was a $1.1 million increase in professional fees associated with business combinations, a $1.3 million increase in travel expense, and a $1.9 million increase in agent commissions expense in our Communication Intelligence segment. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $3.5 million of expenses from special performance incentives associated with a prior period business combination included in selling, general, and administrative expenses during the three months ended April 30, 2013 with no equivalent expenses in the three months ended April 30, 2014.

Amortization of Other Acquired Intangible Assets

Amortization of other acquired intangible assets consists of amortization of certain intangible assets acquired in connection with business combinations, including customer relationships, distribution networks, trade names and non-compete agreements.

The following table sets forth amortization of other acquired intangible assets for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013:

Three Months Ended April 30, 2014 compared to Three Months Ended April 30, 2013. Total other expense, net, decreased by $4.2 million from $18.5 million in the three months ended April 30, 2013 to $14.3 million in the three months ended April 30, 2014.

During the three months ended April 30, 2014, we recorded a $7.1 million loss upon extinguishment of debt in connection with the extinguishment of the March 2013 Term Loans. During the three months ended April 30, 2013, we recorded a $9.7 million loss upon extinguishment of debt, which primarily related to the extinguishment of the April 2011 Term Loans.

Table of Contents

Interest expense increased to $10.2 million in the three months ended April 30, 2014 from $7.2 million in the three months ended April 30, 2013 primarily due to incremental borrowings associated with the February 2014 Term Loans and outstanding borrowings under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility.

Further discussion regarding our Credit Agreement appears in Note 6, “Long-term Debt” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included under Item 1 of this report.

We recorded $3.2 million of net foreign currency gains in the three months ended April 30, 2014 compared to $1.7 million of net losses in the three months ended April 30, 2013. Foreign currency gains in the three months ended April 30, 2014 resulted primarily from (i) weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Singapore dollar, resulting in foreign currency gains on Singapore dollar-denominated net assets in certain entities which use a U.S. dollar functional currency, (ii) weakening of the U.S. dollar against the British pound sterling, resulting in foreign currency gains on euro-denominated net liabilities in certain entities which use a British pound sterling functional currency, (iii) weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro, resulting in foreign currency gains on U.S. dollar-denominated net liabilities in certain entities which use a euro functional currency and (iv) weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Brazilian real, resulting in foreign currency gains on U.S. dollar-denominated net liabilities in certain entities which use a Brazilian real functional currency.

In the three months ended April 30, 2014, there were net losses on derivative financial instruments (not designated as hedging instruments) of $0.7 million compared to net gains of $0.4 million on such instruments for the three months ended April 30, 2013 resulting primarily from the strengthening of the hedged currencies against the functional currencies during the three months ended April 30, 2014, in contrast to the weakening of the hedged currencies against the functional currencies during the three months ended April 30, 2013, in both cases primarily the euro against the U.S dollar. Movements of hedged currencies against functional currencies were generally not significant during the three months ended April 30, 2014.

Other, net was $0.5 million net expense in three months ended April 30, 2014 compared to a net benefit of $0.4 million in three months ended April 30, 2013. The $0.4 million net benefit during the three months ended April 30, 2014 included approximately $0.4 million of sublease rental income from KANA properties acquired during the three months ended April 30, 2014. Other, net, during the three months ended April 30, 2013 included a $0.3 million write-off of an indemnification asset based upon our assessment of the collectibility of the indemnification from the former shareholders from a prior-year business combination in our Communications Intelligence segment.

(Benefit from) Provision for Income Taxes

The following table sets forth our (benefit from) provision for income taxes for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013:



	Three Months Ended April 30,					% Change
(in thousands)	2014			2013		2014 - 2013
(Benefit from) provision for income taxes	$	(42,088	)	$	3,103	*

* Percentage is not meaningful.

Three Months Ended April 30, 2014 compared to Three Months Ended April 30, 2013. Our effective income tax benefit rate was 317.2% for the three months ended April 30, 2014, compared to a negative effective income tax rate of 64.2% for the three months ended April 30, 2013. For the three months ended April 30, 2014, we recorded an income tax benefit of $42.1 million on a pre-tax loss of $13.3 million. The current period income tax benefit is primarily attributable to the release of $45.2 million of Verint valuation allowances. We maintain valuation allowances on our net U.S. deferred income tax assets related to federal and certain state jurisdictions. In connection with the acquisition of KANA, we recorded deferred income tax liabilities primarily attributable to acquired intangible assets to the extent the amortization will not be deductible for income tax purposes. Under accounting guidelines, because the amortization of the intangible assets in future periods provides a source of taxable income, we expect to realize a portion of our existing deferred income tax assets. As such, we have reduced the valuation allowance recorded on our deferred income tax assets to the extent of the deferred income tax liabilities recorded. Because the valuation allowance related to existing Verint deferred income tax assets, the impact of the release is reflected as a discrete income tax benefit and not as a component of the KANA acquisition accounting. The effective income tax rate was also affected by the mix and levels of income and losses among taxing jurisdictions. Pre-tax income in our profitable jurisdictions, where we recorded income tax provisions, was less than our domestic losses where we maintain valuation allowances and did not record the related income tax benefits. Excluding the income tax benefit attributable to the valuation

Table of Contents

allowance release, the result was an income tax provision of $3.1 million on a pre-tax loss $13.3 million, resulting in a negative effective income tax rate of 23.2%. For the three months ended April 30, 2013, our effective income tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal rate of 35% primarily due to the level and mix of income and losses by jurisdiction. Pre-tax income in our profitable jurisdictions, where we recorded income tax provisions, was less than our domestic losses where we maintain valuation allowances and did not record the related income tax benefits. The result was an income tax provision of $3.1 million on a pre-tax loss of $4.8 million, which resulted in a negative effective income tax rate of 64.2%.

The comparison of our effective income tax rates between periods is significantly impacted by the level and mix of earnings and losses by tax jurisdiction, foreign income tax rate differentials, amount of permanent book to tax differences, the impact of unrecognized income tax income benefits, and the effects of valuation allowances on certain loss jurisdictions.

Backlog

The delivery cycles of most of our products are generally very short, ranging from days to several months, with the exception of certain projects with multiple deliverables over longer periods of time. Therefore, we do not view backlog as a meaningful indicator of future business activity and do not consider it a meaningful financial metric for evaluating our business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary 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.

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 marketing, facilities and overhead costs, and capital expenditures. We also utilize cash for debt service under our Credit Agreement and periodically for business acquisitions. Cash generated from operations is our primary source of operating liquidity, and we believe that internally generated cash flows are sufficient to support our current business operations, including debt service and capital expenditure requirements.

In February 2014, in connection with our acquisition of KANA, we borrowed $125.0 million under our 2013 Revolving Credit Facility and we also incurred $300.0 million of incremental term loans under our Credit Agreement, both for purposes of funding a portion of the purchase price for KANA. These transactions significantly increased our long-term debt obligations. Further discussion of our Credit Agreement appears below, under "Credit Agreement".

We have historically expanded our business in part by investing in strategic growth initiatives, including acquisitions of products, technologies, and businesses. We have used cash as consideration for substantially all of our historical business acquisitions, including approximately $517 million of net cash expended to acquire KANA in February 2014, funded through a combination of cash on hand, and as described above, incremental term loans and borrowings under our 2013 Revolving Credit Facility. We also expended approximately $83 million of cash on hand to acquire UTX in March 2014.

We continually examine our options with respect to terms and sources of existing and future long and short-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 additional equity or debt capital in the capital markets.

A considerable portion of our operating income is earned outside the United States. Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and restricted cash and bank time deposits (including any long-term portions) held by our subsidiaries outside the United States were $229.3 million and $268.6 million as of April 30, 2014 and January 31, 2014, respectively, and are generally used to fund the subsidiaries’ operating requirements and to invest in company growth initiatives, including business acquisitions. Cash on hand in the United States was utilized to fund a portion of the purchase price for KANA, and cash on hand outside of the United States was utilized to fund the purchase price for UTX. We currently do not anticipate that we will need funds generated from foreign operations to fund our domestic operations for the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future.

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. We have not provided for deferred income taxes on the excess of

the amount for financial reporting over the tax basis of investments in our foreign subsidiaries because we currently plan to indefinitely reinvest such earnings outside the United States.

The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and bank time deposits, short-term investments and long-term debt as of April 30, 2014 and January 31, 2014:



	April 30,		January 31,
(in thousands)	2014		2014
Cash and cash equivalents	$	187,316	$	378,618
Restricted cash and bank time deposits	$	19,949	$	6,423
Short-term investments	$	35,875	$	32,049
Long-term debt	$	1,020,365	$	635,830

At April 30, 2014, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $187.3 million, a decrease of $191.3 million from $378.6 million at January 31, 2014. During the three months ended April 30, 2014, we expended approximately $186 million of cash on hand for three business acquisitions, including associated financing fees.

During the three months ended April 30, 2014, our operating activities generated $54.0 million of cash, our financing activities generated $378.9 million of net cash, and our investing activities used $625.2 million of net cash. Further discussion of these items appears below.

Consolidated Cash Flow Activity

The following table summarizes selected items from our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013:



	Three Months Ended April 30,

Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(191,302	)	$	46,191

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities is driven primarily by our net income or loss, adjusted for non-cash items, and working capital changes. Operating activities generated $54.0 million of net cash during the three months ended April 30, 2014, compared to $26.2 million generated during the three months ended April 30, 2013. The improved operating cash flow resulted primarily from our higher revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2014, which contributed to higher accounts receivable collections and customer deposits, compared to the three months ended April 30, 2013. Although our operating income decreased in the current-year quarter compared to the prior-year quarter, our non-cash depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation expenses increased, from $20.2 million to $33.6 million. Operating activity cash flow for the three months ended April 30, 2013 included the payment of a $7.2 million investment banking fee associated with the CTI Merger.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

During the three months ended April 30, 2014, our investing activities used $625.2 million of net cash, the primary component of which was $603.6 million of net cash utilized for business acquisitions, including KANA in February 2014 and UTX in March 2014. We also had a $13.3 million increase in restricted cash and bank time deposits during this period. Restricted cash and bank time deposits are typically short-term deposits used to secure bank guarantees in connection with sales contracts, the amounts of which will fluctuate from period to period. In addition, we also made $5.3 million of payments for property, equipment, and capitalized software development costs, and made $3.0 million of net purchases of short-term investments, during the period.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended April 30, 2013, our investing activities used $49.2 million of net cash, primarily reflecting $49.6 million of purchases of short-term investments in commercial paper. We also made $3.0 million of payments for property, equipment, and capitalized software development costs during this period.

As of April 30, 2014, we had no significant capital expenditure commitments.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

For the three months ended April 30, 2014, our financing activities provided $378.9 million of net cash. In connection with the February 3, 2014 acquisition of KANA, we incurred $300.0 million of incremental term loans and borrowed $125.0 million under our 2013 Revolving Credit Facility. Additionally, in March 2013, we incurred $643.5 million of new term loans and simultaneously repaid $643.5 million of prior term loans. In connection with this financing activity, we paid $8.9 million of debt issuance costs related to the new borrowings. Other financing activities during the three months ended April 30, 2014 included payments of $2.9 million for the financing portion of payments under contingent consideration arrangements related to prior business combinations, and the receipt of $6.2 million of proceeds from exercises of stock options.

For the three months ended April 30, 2013, our financing activities provided $70.1 million of net cash. During this period, we borrowed $646.7 million under an amendment and restatement agreement to our Credit Agreement (gross borrowings of $650.0 million, reduced by a $3.3 million original issuance discount), and simultaneously repaid $576.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. We also paid $7.0 million of debt issuance costs related to the new borrowings. In addition, we received $10.4 million of cash in connection with the February 2013 CTI Merger. Other financing activities during the three months ended April 30, 2013 included payments of $3.5 million for the financing portion of payments under contingent consideration arrangements related to prior business combinations, and the receipt of $1.7 million of proceeds from exercises of stock options.

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, working capital needs, ordinary course capital expenditures, research and development spending, and other commitments for at least the next 12 months. Currently, we have no plans to pay any cash dividends on our common stock, which are not permitted under our Credit Agreement.

Credit Agreement

As of January 31, 2014, our Credit Agreement provided for $850.0 million of senior secured credit facilities, including $650.0 million of term loans maturing in September 2019, of which $645.1 million was outstanding at January 31, 2014, and the $200.0 million 2013 Revolving Credit Facility maturing in March 2018, under which there were no borrowings at January 31, 2014. The credit facility was subject to a maximum increase of $300.0 million and reduction from time to time.

As noted above, in February 2014, in connection with our acquisition of KANA, we borrowed $125.0 million under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility and we also incurred $300.0 million under the February 2014 Term Loans, which are incremental term loans under an amendment to our Credit Agreement, both for purposes of funding a portion of the purchase price for KANA.

In March 2014, we refinanced the $643.5 million of outstanding March 2013 Term Loans with the March 2014 Term Loans, primarily for purposes of reducing the interest rate on such loans. We also amended our Credit Agreement in February and March 2014 to, among other things, (i) change the basis for determining the interest rate on borrowings under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility, (ii) increase the permitted amount of incremental term loans and revolving credit commitments (beyond the incremental term loans borrowed in February 2014) by up to an aggregate of $200.0 million plus an additional amount such that our leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) would not exceed a specified maximum ratio, (iii) permit us to issue convertible indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement), (iv) permit us to refinance all or a portion of any existing term loans with replacement term loans, and (v) extend by one year, to January 31, 2016, the step-down date of the leverage ratio covenant applicable to the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility.

As of April 30, 2014, we had $943.5 million of outstanding term loans, bearing interest at 3.50% at that date, and which require quarterly principal payments of $2.4 million through August 2019, with the remaining balance due in September 2019. Borrowings under the 2013 Revolving Credit Facility were $87.0 million at April 30, 2014, with $83.0 million bearing interest at 3.50% and $4.0 million bearing interest at 5.00%.

Table of Contents

The 2013 Revolving Credit Facility contains a financial covenant that requires us to maintain a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) of no greater than 5.00 to 1 until January 31, 2016 and no greater than 4.50 to 1 thereafter (the "Leverage Ratio Covenant"). At April 30, 2014, our consolidated leverage ratio was approximately 3.2 to 1 compared to a permitted consolidated leverage ratio of 5.00 to 1, and our EBITDA for the twelve-month period then ended exceeded by at least $102.0 million the minimum EBITDA required to satisfy the Leverage Ratio Covenant given our outstanding debt as of such date.

Contractual Obligations

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2014 includes a table summarizing our contractual obligations of approximately $909 million as of January 31, 2014, including approximately $788 million for long-term debt obligations, including projected future interest. This table appears under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in that report. As described above under "Credit Agreements", during the three months ended April 30, 3014, we incurred additional long-term debt in connection with our acquisition of KANA and executed several amendments to our Credit Agreement. As a result, our long-term debt obligations, including projected future interest, have increased from approximately $788 million at January 31, 2014 to approximately $1.2 billion at April 30, 2014. This increase resulted primarily from the impact of the additional long-term debt, partially offset by the impact of lower projected interest rates. Details regarding our long-term debt obligations are provided in Note 6, "Long-Term Debt" to our condensed consolidated financial statements included under Item 1 of this report.

Additional operating lease obligations that we assumed upon the February 3, 2014 acquisition of KANA and March 31, 2014 acquisition of UTX were less than $10.0 million and are not included in the contractual obligations table in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2014.

Other than the impact of the transactions described above, we believe that our contractual obligations and commercial commitments did not materially change during the three months ended April 30, 2014.

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 shareholders of the acquired companies based upon achievement of performance targets following the acquisition dates.

For the three months ended April 30, 2014, we made $3.1 million of payments under contingent consideration arrangements. As of April 30, 2014, potential future cash payments and earned consideration expected to be paid subsequent to April 30, 2014 under contingent consideration arrangements total $42.6 million, the estimated fair value of which was $19.1 million, including $9.7 million reported in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and $9.4 million reported in other liabilities. The performance periods associated with these potential payments extend through January 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of April 30, 2014, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that we believe have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements Implemented

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. This new standard is intended to resolve diversity in practice regarding the release into net income of a cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. ASU No. 2013-05 was effective prospectively for us on February 2, 2014. The adoption of this standard did not impact our condensed consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements To Be Implemented

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial condition due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. To manage the volatility relating to interest rate and foreign currency risks, we periodically enter into derivative instruments including foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements. It is our policy to enter into derivative transactions 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.

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, 2014 provides detailed quantitative and qualitative discussions of the market risks affecting our operations. We believe that our market risk profile did not materially change during the three months ended April 30, 2014.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, are controls and other procedures 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 our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of April 30, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect every misstatement. An evaluation of effectiveness is subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may decrease over time.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Table of Contents

Under applicable SEC rules (Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(c)) management is required to evaluate any change in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during each fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In evaluating whether there were any reportable changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended April 30, 2014, we determined, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, that there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except as described below with respect to our new operations resulting from the acquisition of KANA.

In making the assessment of disclosure controls and procedures and of changes in our internal control over financial reporting as of the date of the evaluation, our management has excluded the operations of KANA. This exclusion is in accordance with the SEC’s general guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from the scope of the evaluation in the year following the acquisition. We are currently assessing the control environment of this acquired business. KANA’s revenue comprised approximately 12% of our consolidated revenue for the three-month period covered by this report, and KANA’s assets comprised approximately 4% of our consolidated assets as of the end of such period.
