For the full year 2014 NICE reported record revenues of $1.012 billion, record operating margin of 20%, record fully diluted earnings per share of $2.85 and a record cash from operations of $182 million.
“I’m pleased to report a very strong finish to the year in which we reported 9% organic growth in fourth quarter revenues and a strong improvement in the operating margin that reached 25% for the fourth quarter, ” said Barak Eilam, CEO of NICE. “For the full year 2014, we achieved two major financial milestones for the Company: our revenue crossed $1 billion and operating margin reached 20%. We owe these strong results to a combination of the continued growth in our analytic solutions and the successful execution of our operational plan that we put in place earlier this year. This plan is to improve the business through flawless execution to drive growth in an efficient, effective, and profitable manner.”
Mr. Eilam continued, “As we head into 2015, we believe we are well positioned to further execute on our plans. We are centered on product leadership and go-to-market expansion, we are moving products faster to the market, and profitability remains high on our agenda. We will continue to help organizations in their efforts to serve people in three critical domains: protecting people’s money, ensuring their safety and improving their experiences. Each of these domains represents a large addressable market, and, combined with our leadership position, presents a significant opportunity for us in 2015 and beyond.”
