Press Release

Verint Celebrates ‘Day One’ as a Company Focused on Enabling Brands to Achieve Boundless Customer Engagement Following Completion of Cognyte Software Spin-Off

Customer Engagement Cloud Platform Connects Work, Data and Experiences Across the Enterprise

MELVILLE, N.Y., Feb. 1, 2021 —Verint® Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: VRNT), the Customer Engagement Company, today announced that it has completed the spin-off of Cognyte Software Ltd. The milestone marks the start of Verint’s journey as a pure-play customer engagement vendor with an exclusive focus and extensive resources – including over 4,500 professionals worldwide – dedicated to helping organizations provide Boundless Customer Engagement .

Cognyte will begin “regular way” trading on NASDAQ on February 2, 2021, under the symbol “CGNT”. In connection with the separation, Verint shareholders will receive one share of Cognyte common stock for each share of Verint common stock.

Brands today are challenged by new workforce dynamics, ever-expanding customer engagement channels and exponentially more consumer interactions – all with limited budget and resources. As a result, brands are finding it more difficult than ever to deliver the desired customer experience. This creates an Engagement Capacity Gap, which continues to widen as digital disruption increases.

Expanding the workforce is simply not a sustainable option. Organizations are increasingly seeking technology to close this gap – solutions that are based on AI and analytics to automate workflows across enterprise silos to balance workforce expenses and at the same time drive an elevated consumer experience. Verint is uniquely positioned to help companies close this gap. The Verint Customer Engagement Cloud Platform – built on a native cloud architecture with an open design – enables brands to connect work, data and experiences across the organization.

“Verint becoming a pure-play customer engagement company is happening at the exact right time – a time when digital transformation is driving significant change in how brands engage with their customers. Verint helps organizations break down barriers and eliminate the constraints of organizational and data silos to achieve boundless customer engagement. With our open cloud platform, significant domain expertise and broad partner ecosystem, we are well positioned to help brands build enduring customer relationships,” says Verint CEO, Dan Bodner.

Evercore acted as lead financial advisor to Cognyte on the separation. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Jefferies LLC acted as lead financial advisors to Verint on the separation. Jefferies LLC acted as lead financial advisor to Verint on a minority investment in connection with the separation from funds managed by Apax Partners. Needham & Company, Oppenheimer & Co., Stifel, Wedbush Securities and Imperial Capital acted as co-advisors. Jones Day acted as legal counsel to Verint, and Meitar acted as legal counsel to Cognyte.

EXHIBIT 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Verint”, “we”, “us”, and “our” in these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto refer to Verint Systems Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

On February 1, 2021 (the “Separation Date”), Verint (the “Company”) completed the previously announced separation of its Cyber Intelligence Solutions business (the “Business” or “Cognyte”), into a separate, independent publicly traded company, Cognyte Software Ltd. (NASDAQ: CGNT). This separation was completed by means of a distribution in which each holder of Verint’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, received one share of Cognyte’s common stock, no par value, for every share of common stock of Verint held of record as of the close of business on January 25, 2021 (the “Record Date”). After the distribution, the Company does not beneficially own any shares of common stock in Cognyte and will no longer consolidate Cognyte into its financial results for periods ending after January 31, 2021 (the entire transaction being referred to as the “Separation”).

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements and give effect to the Separation. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations reflect the Company’s results as if the Separation and related transactions had occurred as of February 1, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2020 reflects the Company’s financial position as if the Separation had occurred on October 31, 2020. After the date of the Separation, the historical financial results of Cognyte will be reflected in our consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for all periods presented through the Separation Date.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the Company’s financial position or results of operations had the Separation occurred as of and for the periods indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are provided for illustrative and informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s future results of operations or financial condition had the Separation and related transactions been completed on the dates assumed. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and assumptions management believes are, under the circumstances and given the information available at this time, reasonable, and best reflect the Separation and Verint’s financial condition and results of operations as if it was a stand-alone entity in accordance with GAAP. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and years ended January 31, 2020, January 31, 2019, and January 31, 2018 include corporate overhead costs previously allocated to the historical combined statements of operations of Cognyte that do not meet the definition of expenses related to discontinued operations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 205, “Presentation of Financial Statements” (“ASC 205”). A significant portion of these corporate overhead costs relate to executive management, finance, legal, information technology, and other shared services functions and are reflected in Verint’s pro forma income (loss) from continuing operations. The pro forma adjustments represent our best estimates based on information currently available and may differ from those that will be calculated to report Cognyte as discontinued operations in our future filings.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X Article 11, Pro Forma Financial Information, as amended by the final rule, Amendments to Financial Disclosures About Acquired and Disposed Businesses, as adopted by the SEC on May 21, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to reflect any potential synergies that may be achievable, or dis-synergy costs that may occur, in connection with the Separation.

VERINT SYSTEMS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

The adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are described below:

 

(a)

Reflects the operations, assets, liabilities and equity of Cognyte, which have been derived from Cognyte’s historical combined financial statements prepared on a “carve-out” basis of accounting.

 

(b)

Reflects an estimated cash payment which Cognyte will distribute to Verint in connection with the Separation.

 

(c)

Reflects the settlement of a loan balance between us and Cognyte as part of the Separation, including accrued interest.

 

(d)

Reflects a cash dividend from Cognyte to the Company that is expected to be paid in cash after the Separation during the three months ending April 30, 2021. The associated accrued withholding tax is reclassed from other liabilities and included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

 

(e)

Pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement, Verint and Cognyte are responsible for any and all income taxes due with respect to their separate returns, except for the portion of taxes attributable to the other’s business. Cognyte has agreed to make payments to Verint or taxing authorities for these taxes, and in case of any adjustment pursuant to a determination with respect to any tax return filed by Verint attributable to Cognyte or other tax costs incurred by Verint in connection with transactions undertaken in anticipation of the spin as determined by Verint. For purposes of the pro forma financial statements, Verint has estimated that the payments will be $2.4 million; the associated asset is reflected in “Other assets” as of October 31, 2020.

 

(f)

We anticipate incurring additional costs of approximately $31.5 million subsequent to October 31, 2020 to complete the Separation. These costs primarily relate to investment banker fees, legal fees, third-party consulting and contractor fees, information technology costs and other costs directly related to the Separation. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2020 has been adjusted to record estimated separation costs of $31.5 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, with a corresponding increase to accumulated deficit.

 

(g)

Represents general corporate overhead costs related to executive management, finance, legal, information technology, and other shared services functions that were historically allocated to Cognyte. These amounts exclude the incremental transaction costs allocated to Cognyte of $11.4 million and $2.2 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and year ended January 31, 2020, respectively.

 

(h)

In connection with the Separation, the Company and Cognyte entered into a transition services agreement whereby the Company and Cognyte will provide certain post-closing services to each other on a transitional basis. As such, a pro forma adjustment has been recorded to selling, general and administrative expenses to reflect this contractual arrangement.

 

(i)

Represents the incremental transaction costs directly attributable to the disposition of Cognyte, which will be retrospectively reclassified to discontinued operations upon completion of the Separation.

 

(j)

Represents the elimination of net intercompany interest expense on the loan between Cognyte and Verint as reflected in Cognyte’s stand-alone combined financial statements and included in the Cognyte Separation column in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

(k)

Represents the impact of an expected sublease agreement for office space between the Company and Cognyte in connection with the Separation.

 

(l)

The pro forma Verint provision for income taxes for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 is based on an allocation of the historical consolidated provision for income taxes. The pro forma Verint provision for income taxes has not been based on an estimated annual effective rate as this cannot be reliably estimated due to forecasted near breakeven income from operations and the relative impact of permanent book to tax differences (i.e. non-deductible expenses). A discrete calculation of the provision for income taxes has therefore been calculated for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and the adjustment herein includes the amount required to calculate such pro forma provision for income taxes.

 

7


(m)

Reflects the income tax effects of pro forma adjustments notes (g) - (k) at the applicable statutory rates in effect in the respective tax jurisdictions during the periods presented.

 

8
