AudioCodes Reports Second Quarter 2010 Financial Results


LOD, Israel, July 28, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AudioCodes Ltd. (Nasdaq:AUDC), a leading provider of Voice over IP (VoIP) technologies and Voice Network products, today announced financial results for the second quarter 2010, ended June 30, 2010.

Revenues for the second quarter 2010 were $36.5 million compared to $34.8 million for the first quarter of 2010 and $30.4 million for the second quarter of 2009.

Net income in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) was $2.1 million, or $0.05 per share, for the second quarter of 2010 compared to GAAP net income of $1.7 million, or $0.04 per share, for the first quarter of 2010, and a GAAP net loss of $1.1 million, or ($0.03) per share, for the second quarter of 2009.

Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2010 was $2.8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to $2.5 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2010 and $614,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2009.

Non-GAAP net income excludes (i) stock-based compensation expenses, (ii) amortization expenses related to intangible assets, and (iii) an adjustment to expenses related to the Company's Senior Convertible Notes due to implementation of FASB Staff Position APB 14-1. A reconciliation between net income on a GAAP basis and non-GAAP net income is provided in the tables that accompany the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this press release.

During the second quarter of 2010, AudioCodes generated $1.6 million in cash from operating activities compared to $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2009.

Cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term deposits and short-term marketable securities were $54.5 million as of June 30, 2010, compared to $54.7 million as of March 31, 2010 and $114.9 million as of June 30, 2009. The year-over-year decline in this amount was attributable to the repurchase of approximately $73.1 million in principal amount of the Company's Senior Convertible Notes in the fourth quarter of 2009, offset, in part, by cash provided by operating activities.

"We are pleased to report another sequential quarter of growing revenues and earnings. The strength of our second quarter 2010 financial results were highlighted by double-digit year-over-year top line growth, a 22.2 percent improvement in GAAP net income compared to the first quarter of 2010 and continued positive cash flows from operations. Building on our efforts in past quarters, our focus on partnering with world leading solution partners and continued investment in growing our global network of value add resellers is proving itself," said Shabtai Adlersberg, Chairman of the Board, President and CEO of AudioCodes. "While we generally enjoyed good industry activity across our core networking business, we also experienced increased activity in the Mobile VoIP area and in SIP Trunking and Session Border Controller applications for the enterprise market segment where we achieved more wins and success compared to previous quarters. These market activities are expanding our addressable markets and should support continued growth in 2010 and beyond," concluded Shabtai Adlersberg.
