“We’re pleased to report a strong finish to 2024 capped off by an exceptional fourth quarter with double digit growth in total revenue, cloud revenue and further acceleration of our industry leading profitability,” said Scott Russell, CEO of NICE. “Our full-year 2024 strong top line results were fueled by a 25% year-over-year growth in cloud revenue, which reached $2 billion. Further, our leadership in CX AI was exemplified by the strong adoption of our advanced AI solutions which were included in 97% of our large enterprise CXone Mpower deals over $1 million ARR. Our profitability reached new heights with a 150-basis point increase in our non-GAAP operating margin, climbing to 31.1%. Additionally, our outstanding operating cash flow growth in 2024, which increased 48% year-over-year to $833 million, positions us with a significant competitive advantage to drive future organic and inorganic expansion.”
Mr. Russell continued, “AI is revolutionizing the CX industry, and CXone Mpower’s agentic AI is unlocking new levels of growth by delivering further efficiency and exceptional customer experiences. I joined NICE for its undisputed leadership and its unique ability to seize this growth opportunity. We will put our industry-leading platforms front and center, we will lead the CX-AI revolution and we will further scale through expansion of our ecosystem. Our decades of deep CX domain expertise, industry-leading AI platform, relentless innovation and great financial strength strongly positions us to capitalize on the opportunities ahead and accelerate into the future.”

Quarterly Results Conference Call

A live webcast and replay will be available on the Investor Relations page of the Company’s website.

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.
