Insights

NICE delivered an exceptional Q3 with robust financial metrics across the board. Total revenue grew 15% to $690.0 million, while cloud revenue surged 24% to $500.1 million. The standout achievement is the record non-GAAP operating margin of 32%, up 140 basis points year-over-year.

Key performance indicators show strong business momentum:

  • Cloud ARR exceeded $2 billion
  • Operating cash flow increased 32% to $159 million
  • Non-GAAP EPS grew 27% to $2.88
The company's raised EPS guidance and strong cash position of $1.07 billion net cash demonstrates financial strength and operational efficiency. The continued share repurchases ($86.4 million in Q3) signal management's confidence in future growth.

NICE's accelerating growth in AI-powered solutions marks a significant competitive advantage. The strong adoption of CXone AI offerings, including Copilot, Autopilot and Autosummary, indicates successful market penetration in the enterprise AI space. The displacement of legacy on-premises and cloud customer service providers suggests a structural shift in the industry toward NICE's integrated AI solutions.

The 24% cloud revenue growth and expanding margins demonstrate successful execution of the cloud transformation strategy. The company's ability to maintain high growth while improving profitability sets it apart in the enterprise software sector, particularly as AI adoption accelerates in customer experience management.

  • Total revenue growth of 15% year over year
  • Cloud ARR exceeds $2 billion
  • Company reiterates full-year total revenue guidance and raises EPS guidance
  • Record high operating margin driving operating cash flow of $159 million

Explanation of Non-GAAP measures
Non-GAAP financial measures are included in this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition related and other expenses, amortization of discount on debt and loss from extinguishment of debt and the tax effect of the Non-GAAP adjustments.

The Company believes that these Non-GAAP financial measures, used in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business. We believe Non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of our business. Our management regularly uses our supplemental Non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and to make financial, strategic and operating decisions. These Non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Our Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These Non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company provides guidance only on a Non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of guidance from a GAAP to Non-GAAP basis is not available due to the unpredictability and uncertainty associated with future events that would be reported in GAAP results and would require adjustments between GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures, including the impact of future possible business acquisitions. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the guidance based on Non-GAAP financial measures to corresponding GAAP financial measures for future periods is not available without unreasonable effort.
