(1) "Comverse performance" has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. See “Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
(2) Includes approximately $10.9 million of cash proceeds related to an Italian VAT refund received during the nine months ended October 31, 2013.






“Our continued focus on driving increased operational efficiency contributed to strong and improved profit margins in the third quarter.  In addition, while capex spend among carriers continues to be highly scrutinized, we are pleased with the continued improvement in our overall global sales pipeline,” said Philippe Tartavull, President & CEO of Comverse, Inc. “We believe Comverse’s differentiated products, proven track record and global presence positions us well to capitalize on our multi-billion dollar market opportunity.”
"As previously disclosed, the tax provision is subject to significant quarter-to-quarter variability based on numerous factors. From a full year perspective we currently expect our tax provision to be in the range of $27 million to $32 million and our cash taxes to be between $17 million and $20 million," said Tom Sabol, CFO of Comverse, Inc.

Segment Performance
We evaluate our business by assessing the performance of each of our operating segments. Our Chief Executive Officer is our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM uses segment performance, as defined below, as the primary basis for assessing the financial results of the operating segments and for the allocation of resources. Segment performance, as we define it in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standard Board's (“FASB”) guidance relating to segment reporting, is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies.
Segment performance is computed by management as income (loss) from operations adjusted for the following: (i) stock-based compensation expense; (ii) amortization of acquisition-related intangibles; (iii) compliance-related professional fees; (iv) compliance-related compensation and other expenses; (v) impairment of goodwill; (vi) impairment of property and equipment; (vii) certain litigation settlements and related costs; (viii) Italian VAT refund recovery recorded within operating expenses; (ix) restructuring expenses; and (x) certain other gains and expenses. Compliance-related professional fees and compliance-related compensation and other expenses relate to fees and expenses recorded in connection with CTI’s and our efforts to (a) complete certain financial statements and audits of such financial statements and (b) remediate material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We provide Comverse performance, a non-GAAP financial measure, as additional information for our operating results. This measure is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP financial measures and may be different from, or not comparable to similarly titled or other non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We believe that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to our results of operations as viewed by management in monitoring our businesses, reviewing financial results and for planning purposes. See “Consolidated Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include financial projections, statements of plans and objectives for future operations, statements of future economic performance, and statements of assumptions relating thereto. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as “may,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “believes,” “potential,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results, performance and the timing of events to differ materially from those anticipated, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this press release. Such risks or uncertainties may give rise to future claims and increase exposure to contingent liabilities. These risks and uncertainties arise from (among other factors) the risk that our managed service offering may not grow as expected and the additional risks described in the sections entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” and Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 16, 2013, or in subsequently filed periodic, current or other reports. We undertake no commitment to update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by law.
These risks and uncertainties discussed above, as well as others, are discussed in greater detail in our filings with the SEC. The documents and reports we file with the SEC are available through us, or our website, www.comverse.com, or through the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (EDGAR) at www.sec.gov.
