Verint®
Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: VRNT), a global Actionable Intelligence®
leader, today announced preliminary Q1 non-GAAP revenue above guidance
for its first quarter ended April 30, 2019. Verint now expects Q1
non-GAAP revenue to come in 1% to 2% above its guidance of $315 million
that was issued on Verint’s March 27, 2019 earnings call.
“We are pleased to start the year strong, ahead of our revenue guidance,
notwithstanding the ransomware event two weeks before quarter end,
reflecting continued momentum in our business. We also expect our Q1
revenue overachievement to drive healthy EPS in Q1 as we grow non-GAAP
earnings faster than revenue through margin expansion,” said Dan Bodner,
Verint CEO.
Bodner continued, “We look forward to our earnings call on May 29th
to further review our results and share new disclosures that will help
investors better understand the underlying growth trends in our
business. We also look forward to discussing how our automation and
cloud strategy is clearly differentiating Verint during our sell-side
analyst event on May 20th and May 21st taking
place at our annual Customer Engagement user conference.”
As previously disclosed, Verint experienced a ransomware attack on April
16th. Verint quickly identified and remediated the attack,
and fully restored Verint’s IT services in less than 24 hours without
any loss or disclosure of customer data.
