Details

AudioCodes (NASDAQ: AUDC), a leading provider of unified communications voice, contact center and conversational AI applications and services for enterprises, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Revenues for the first quarter of 2025 were \$60.4 million compared to \$60.1 million for the first quarter of 2024.

EBITDA for the first quarter of 2025 was \$4.6 million compared to \$3.8 million for the first quarter of 2024.

On a Non-GAAP basis, EBITDA for the first quarter of 2025 was \$6.2 million compared to \$6.7 million for the first quarter of 2024.

Net income was \$4.0 million, or \$0.13 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to net income of \$2.1 million, or \$0.07 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024.

On a Non-GAAP basis, net income was \$4.7 million, or \$0.15 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to \$5.2 million, or \$0.17 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024.

Non-GAAP net income excludes: (i) share-based compensation expenses; (ii) amortization expenses related to intangible assets; (iii) financial income (expenses) related to exchange rate differences in connection with revaluation of assets and liabilities in non-dollar denominated currencies; (iv) tax impact which relates to our Non-GAAP adjustments; and (v) in Q1 2024 non-cash lease expense which is required to be recorded during the quarter even though this is a free rent period under the lease for the Company's new headquarters. A reconciliation of net income on a GAAP basis to a non-GAAP basis is provided in the tables that accompany the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this press release.

Net cash provided by operating activities was \$13.5 million for the first quarter of 2025. Cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, long and short-term marketable securities and long-term financial investments were \$95.7 million as of March 31, 2025 compared to \$93.9 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase in cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, long and short-term marketable securities and long-term financial investments was the result of cash generated from operating activities. This was partially offset by use of cash for the continued repurchasing of the Company's ordinary shares pursuant to its share repurchase program and the payment of a cash dividend during the quarter.

"I am pleased to report solid first quarter performance amidst successful execution of our strategic priorities. We continued to drive growth of our Live managed services in the UCaaS and CX markets, coupled with cross-selling our AI-powered value-added services" said Shabtai Adlersberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of AudioCodes.

Overall, we experienced positive momentum across our UC, CX, and conversational AI practices, propelled by strength in UCaaS, within which Microsoft business was up 7% in the quarter. Our CX business increased 2% yearover-year, supported by a solid pipeline that indicates a positive outlook for the remainder of 2025. Our conversational AI business grew over 10% year-over-year. The strength in these strategic areas has fueled the ongoing growth of our Live managed services, leading to Annual Recurring Revenues (ARR) reaching \$67 million in the quarter, representing approximately 25% growth year-over-year.

Our investments have led to a spate of new products in the Conversational AI space that our sales teams are successfully evangelizing to end customers and partners. As a case in point, we recently introduced Meeting Insights On-Prem, extending the Gen AI-enabled meeting productivity benefits to regulated and security-sensitive environments and industries. This industry's first solution has already garnered important customer interest, as evidenced by a robust pipeline.

We expect the number of proof-of-concept opportunities to further scale over the rest of the year. We further expect growth of AI-powered value-added services to be enhanced in the second half of 2025 by the impending launch of our unique next-generation Live platform, which integrates connectivity solutions supporting the leading UCaaS vendor solutions with our leading business applications.

On the operations side, we witnessed lower gross profit from product sales in the first quarter resulting from the impact of the new US tariffs on imports from China. We are closely monitoring developments in this area and have already taken steps to mitigate the impact for the remainder of 2025 from the new tariffs announced in April. Despite the fluidity of the tariff situation and associated macroeconomic uncertainty, we continue to make solid progress in our long-term transformation into a cloud and software services company, and in investing and developing the potential for future success in the emerging conversational AI applications and markets" concluded Mr. Adlersberg.

Share Buy Back Program and Cash Dividend

In December 2024, the Company received court approval in Israel to purchase up to an aggregate amount of \$20 million of additional ordinary shares. The court approval also permits AudioCodes to declare a dividend out of any part of this amount. The approval is valid through June 14, 2025.

On February 4, 2025, the Company declared a cash dividend of 18 cents per share. The dividend, in the aggregate amount of approximately \$5.5 million, was paid on March 6, 2025, to all of the Company's shareholders of record on February 20, 2025.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company acquired 500,000 of its ordinary shares under its share repurchase program for a total consideration of \$5.2 million.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had \$8.5 million available under this approval for the repurchase of shares and/or declaration of cash dividends.

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.
