"We are pleased to report continued sequential growth of revenues and earnings for the third quarter of 2007," stated Shabtai Adlersberg, Chairman, President and CEO of AudioCodes. "This quarter's performance reflects sustained momentum and strength in our core networking business. We experienced success and growth in our sales of CPE products as well as in our mid-density media gateways and enjoyed increased recognition for the quality and value of our products and services. On the operations front, we were able to exhibit nice growth in our operating income compared to previous quarters this year, benefiting from higher revenues and the positive impact of our corporate wide cost reduction initiative of early 2007. With the VoIP market remaining one of the fastest growing segments of the telecom sector, our growing network of partners and customers and improved visibility in recent weeks, we believe in our ability to exhibit sustained growth in coming years."
"On the product and partner fronts, we highlight the recently announced launch of a new 'Basic Hybrid' Media Gateway product line that provides direct support for our relationship with Microsoft and its Open Communications Server 2007 and Exchange Server 2007 initiatives. We have also made progress and expanded our collaboration with key OEMs and application software partners in the enterprise space as well as with large system integrators and channels in North America and other countries," concluded Shabtai Adlersberg.
