This press release contains forward-looking statements,
including statements regarding expectations, predictions, views,
opportunities, plans, strategies, beliefs, and statements of
similar effect relating to Verint Systems Inc. These
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance
and they are based on management's expectations that involve a
number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and
other important factors, any of which could cause our actual
results or conditions to differ materially from those expressed in
or implied by the forward-looking statements. Some of the factors
that could cause our actual results or conditions to differ
materially from current expectations include, among others:
uncertainties regarding the impact of changes in macroeconomic
and/or global conditions, including as a result of slowdowns,
recessions, economic instability, rising interest rates, tightening
credit markets, inflation, instability in the banking sector,
actual or threatened trade wars, political unrest, armed conflicts,
natural disasters, or outbreaks of disease (including global
epidemics or pandemics), as well as the resulting impact on
spending by customers or partners, on our business; risks that our
customers or partners delay, downsize, cancel, or refrain from
placing orders or renewing subscriptions or contracts, or are
unable to honor contractual commitments or payment obligations due
to challenges or uncertainties in their budgets, liquidity, or
businesses; risks associated with our ability to keep pace with
technological advances and challenges and evolving industry
standards, including achieving, demonstrating, and maintaining the
competitive differentiation of our solution platform; to adapt to
changing market potential from area to area within our markets; and
to successfully develop, launch, and drive demand for new,
innovative, high-quality products and services that meet or exceed
customer challenges and needs, while simultaneously preserving our
legacy businesses and migrating away from areas of commoditization;
risks due to aggressive competition in all of our markets and our
ability to keep pace with competitors, some of whom may be able to
grow faster than us or have greater resources than us, including in
areas such as sales and marketing, branding, technological
innovation and development, and recruiting and retention; risks
associated with our ability to properly execute on our software as
a service ("SaaS") transition, including successfully transitioning
customers to our cloud platform and the increased importance of
subscription renewal rates and term lengths, and risk of increased
variability in our period-to-period results based on the mix,
terms, and timing of our transactions; risks relating to our
ability to properly identify and execute on growth or strategic
initiatives, manage investments in our business and operations, and
enhance our existing operations and infrastructure, including the
proper prioritization and allocation of limited financial and other
resources; risks associated with our ability to or costs to retain,
recruit, and train qualified personnel and management in regions in
which we operate either physically or remotely, including in new
markets and growth areas we may enter, due to competition for
talent, increased labor costs, applicable regulatory requirements,
or otherwise; challenges associated with selling sophisticated
solutions and cloud-based solutions, which may incorporate newer
technologies, such as artificial intelligence ("AI"), whose
adoption, value, and use-cases are still emerging (and may present
risks of their own), including with respect to longer sales cycles,
more complex sales processes and customer evaluation and approval
processes, more complex contractual and information security
requirements, and assisting customers in understanding and
realizing the benefits of our solutions and technologies, as well
as with developing, offering, implementing, and maintaining an
enterprise-class, broad solution portfolio; risks that we may be
unable to maintain, expand, or enable our relationships with
partners as part of our growth strategy, including partners with
whom we may overlap or compete, while avoiding excessive
concentration with one or more partners; risks associated with our
reliance on third-party suppliers, partners, or original equipment
manufacturers (“OEMs”) for certain services, products, or
components, including companies that may compete with us or work
with our competitors; risks associated with our significant
international operations, including exposure to regions subject to
political or economic instability, fluctuations in foreign exchange
rates, inflation, increased financial accounting and reporting
burdens and complexities, and challenges associated with a
significant portion of our cash being held overseas; risks
associated with a significant part of our business coming from
government contracts, and associated procurement processes and
regulatory requirements; risks associated with our ability to
identify suitable targets for acquisition or investment or
successfully compete for, consummate, and implement mergers and
acquisitions, including risks associated with valuations, legacy
liabilities, reputational considerations, capital constraints,
costs and expenses, maintaining profitability levels, expansion
into new areas, management distraction, post-acquisition
integration activities, and potential asset impairments; risks
associated with complex and changing domestic and foreign
regulatory environments, including, among others, with respect to
data privacy, AI, cyber/information security, government contracts,
anti-corruption, trade compliance, climate change or other
environmental, social and governance matters, tax, and labor
matters, relating to our own operations, the products and services
we offer, and/or the use of our solutions by our customers; risks
associated with the mishandling or perceived mishandling of
sensitive or confidential information and data, including
personally identifiable information or other information that may
belong to our customers or other third parties, including in
connection with our SaaS or other hosted or managed services
offerings or when we are asked to perform service or support; risks
associated with our reliance on third parties to provide certain
cloud hosting or other cloud-based services to us or our customers,
including the risk of service disruptions, data breaches, or data
loss or corruption; risks that our solutions or services, or those
of third-party suppliers, partners, or OEMs which we use in or with
our offerings or otherwise rely on, including third-party hosting
platforms, may contain defects, vulnerabilities, or develop
operational problems; risk that we or our solutions may be subject
to security vulnerabilities or lapses, including cyber-attacks,
information technology system breaches, failures, or disruptions;
risks that our intellectual property ("IP") rights may not be

resulting from our current debt position or our ability to incur
additional debt, including with respect to liquidity

and related risks that financing sources may be unavailable to us
on reasonable terms or at all; 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; risks associated with
changing accounting principles or standards, tax laws and
regulations, tax rates, and the continuing availability of expected
tax benefits; risks relating to the adequacy of our existing
infrastructure, systems, processes, policies, procedures, internal
controls, and personnel, and our ability to successfully implement
and maintain enhancements to the foregoing, for our current and
future operations and reporting needs, including related risks of
financial statement omissions, misstatements, restatements, or
filing delays; risks associated with market volatility in the
prices of our common stock and convertible notes based on our
performance, third-party publications or speculation, or other
factors, and risks associated with actions of activist
stockholders; risks associated with Apax Partners' significant
ownership position and potential that its interests will not be
aligned with those of our common stockholders; and risks associated
with the February 1, 2021 spin-off of our former Cyber Intelligence
Solutions business, including the possibility that the spin-off
transaction does not achieve the benefits anticipated, does not
qualify as a tax-free transaction, or exposes us to unexpected
claims or liabilities. We assume no obligation to revise or update
any forward-looking statement, except as otherwise required by law.
