Fourth quarter revenues grew 6.0% sequentially and increased 0.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2006. GAAP net income was $1.3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to $225,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2007 and $671,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the corresponding period last year.

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007 were a record $158.2 million compared to $147.4 million in 2006, a year-over-year increase of $10.9 million, or 7.4%. The Company reported a net loss of $1.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for 2007 compared to net income of $6.9 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for 2006.

Non-GAAP net income was $3.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to non-GAAP net income of $2.8 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2007 and $3.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Cash flow from operating activities was $9.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, and totaled $12.4 million in 2007, compared to $6.6 million in 2006.

Cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term marketable securities, short-term and long-term bank deposits and structured notes were $143.0 million as of December 31, 2007 compared to $134.2 million as of September 30, 2007, and $133.6 million as of December 31, 2006. The year-over-year net increase was primarily attributable to positive cash flow from operations and financing activities.

“AudioCodes is pleased to report record quarterly and annual revenues and a third consecutive quarter of sequential top line growth driven primarily by the strength of our networking business,” stated Shabtai Adlersberg, Chairman of the Board, President and CEO of AudioCodes. “With our networking business growing over 30% year over year for the third straight year, and surpassing $100 million in 2007, we remain confident in the continued expansion of our networking business in coming years. Leading the growth were sales of CPE devices and mid-density Media Gateways, both of which grew above 40% in 2007. In addition to growing revenues, we were successful in maintaining better control over operational expenses which allowed us to finish 2007 with efficiency gains that returned non-GAAP operating income margins back to 8% in the fourth quarter and contributed to $9.0 million of cash flow from operations in the last three months of 2007. Based on new customers and OEM design wins in 2007, the continued evolution of VoIP into the telecom mainstream, consolidation in our industry, increased investments in our sales and customer support worldwide and further investments in our technology and products, we believe we are well positioned for continued growth in 2008,” concluded Mr. Adlersberg.

Conference Call & Webcast Information
