“AudioCodes’ second quarter financial results were highlighted by our return to sequential revenue growth coupled with continued strength in our networking business. Our networking business grew over 10% sequentially in the second quarter and more than 30% compared to the second quarter of 2006, with increased penetration of leading service providers, OEMs and enterprise customers worldwide. Underscoring our strong performance was our ability to generate $2.7 million of net cash from our operating activities. During the quarter we made solid progress towards increasing operating efficiencies and initiated a company wide cost reduction program aimed at improving bottom line performance during the second half of 2007 and beyond,” stated Shabtai Adlersberg, Chairman, President and CEO of AudioCodes.

“Our financial achievements were complemented by introducing new products for the session border control market, success in growing our mid-density media gateway sales, and completion of the acquisition of CTI Squared, a provider of enhanced messaging and communications platforms. The addition of CTI Squared to our existing suite of media server offerings further demonstrates our strategy of becoming an important and trusted supplier of converged IP communications products to service providers worldwide. New design wins in the quarter further enhance our confidence in our ability to continue our success in emerging VoIP opportunities in the broadband, wireless, IMS and fixed-mobile-convergence markets,” concluded Mr. Adlersberg.

Note: Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that non-GAAP information is useful because it can enhance the understanding of its ongoing economic performance and therefore uses internally this non-GAAP information to evaluate and manage its operations. The Company has chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform comparisons of operating results in a manner similar to how the Company analyzes its operating results and because many comparable companies report this type of information as well.
