AudioCodes Reports Second Quarter 2006 Results

Quarterly Revenues Increased to a Record $33.3 Million, Up 6.3% Sequentially and 16.7% Year-over-Year

Lod, Israel - July 31, 2006 - AudioCodes (NASDAQ: AUDC ), a leading provider of Voice over Packet (VoP) technologies and Voice Network products, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006 .

Revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006 were a record $33.3 million compared to $31.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and $28.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Second quarter revenues grew 6.3% sequentially and increased 16.7% compared to the second quarter of 2005.

Net income was $3.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2006 compared to net income of $2.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2006 and net income of $3.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2005. SFAS No. 123R became applicable to the Company effective January 1, 2006. As a result, the Company recorded $1.8 million of stock-based compensation expense in the second quarter of 2006 and $2.1 million of stock-based compensation expense in the first quarter of 2006. Excluding this stock-based compensation expense, net income on a non-GAAP basis was $5.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share 1 , in the second quarter of 2006 and $4.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2006. Non-GAAP net income, which excludes the effect of stock-based compensation expense, is reported in order to facilitate financial results tracking and comparison with previously reported financial results.

Cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term marketable securities, short-term and long-term bank deposits and structured notes were $232.9 million as of June 30, 2006 compared to $227.6 million as of March 31, 2006 and $214.7 million as of June 30, 2005.

“Our continued success in achieving record revenues and profitability during the second quarter of 2006 was driven substantially by the growth of our networking business where revenues increased substantially compared to the first quarter of 2006 and we continued to enjoy new customer design wins. Notably, our growth was supported by solid demand for our media gateways and media server products targeting voice over broadband applications, as well as rising demand from wireless service providers. We believe that our continued investment and progress in these areas provides a sound foundation for future growth of our networking business in fixed mobile convergence and IMS network deployments.

“Subsequent to the close of the second quarter, we completed the acquisition of Nuera Communications, a leader in the area of VoIP gateway products for cable and broadband access networks. We also entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Netrake Corporation, a leading provider of Session Border Controllers and Security Gateway Solutions. We believe the integration of these new capabilities with our existing portfolio of systems and products will increase our customer base, enrich our VoIP product portfolio, and add scale and strength to our positioning with the service provider customer base. With these transactions, AudioCodes stands to significantly enhance its global positioning as a leading supplier of key next generation converged network systems,” stated Shabtai Adlersberg, President, Chairman and CEO of AudioCodes.

Conference Call & Webcast Information

AudioCodes will conduct a conference call on Tuesday, August 1, 2006 to discuss the second quarter 2006 financial results, which will be simultaneously Webcast at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Investors are invited to listen to the call live via Webcast at the AudioCodes corporate Website at http://www.audiocodes.com.

1 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.
