Details
AudioCodes (NASDAQ: AUDC), a leading vendor of advanced voice
networking and media processing solutions for the digital
workplace, today announced financial results for the third quarter
ended September 30, 2019.
Revenues for the third quarter of 2019 were $51.4 million compared to $49.5 million for the second quarter of 2019 and
$44.5 million for the third quarter
of 2018.
Net income was $4.4 million, or
$0.14 per diluted share, for the
third quarter of 2019 compared to $4.1
million, or $0.14 per diluted
share, for the third quarter of 2018.
On a Non-GAAP basis, net income was $7.4
million, or $0.24 per diluted
share, for the third quarter of 2019 compared to $5.8 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the third quarter of
2018.
Non-GAAP net income excludes: (i) share-based compensation
expenses; (ii) amortization expenses related to intangible assets;
(iii) expenses or income related to revaluation of an earn-out
liability in connection with the acquisition of Active
Communications Europe; (iv) financial income or expenses related to
exchange rate differences in connection with revaluation of assets
and liabilities in non-dollar denominated currencies and (v)
non-cash deferred tax expenses. 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 $4.0 million for the third quarter of 2019. Cash
and cash equivalents, long- and short-term bank deposits and
short-term marketable securities were $69.5
million as of September 30,
2019 compared to $65.4 million
as of December 31, 2018. The increase
in cash and cash equivalents, long- and short-term bank deposits
and short-term marketable securities was the result of cash from
operating activities offset, in part, by the use of cash for the
continued repurchasing of the Company's ordinary shares pursuant to
its share repurchase program and the payment of cash dividends
during 2019.
"We are pleased to report record financial results for the third
quarter of 2019," said Shabtai
Adlersberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of
AudioCodes. "We continue to enjoy growth trends in the UC and UCaaS
markets and an increased pace of migration of service providers to
All-IP. Our strong execution across our business lines, aided by
these growth trends, enabled us to expand our business. We improved
our financial performance on both revenues and profits. Our
improved operational efficiency and the growth in our operating
margin percentage to 14.5% underscored our financial success."
"With greater industry focus on the meeting space, we have
increased our investments in this area since the beginning of 2019.
Earlier in October we announced our entry into the market in
collaboration with Dolby. Our Room Experience (RX) solution suite
is designed to address a wide range of customer room environments
from huddle rooms to large rooms and the boardroom. Our solutions
include a comprehensive portfolio of devices built around Dolby
hardware and audio technology in order to deliver an exceptional
audio experience in rooms of all sizes. The initiative also
includes Meeting Insights, an enterprise software solution designed
to easily capture, organize, share and distribute the content of
enterprise meetings using AudioCodes' state-of-the-art Voice.ai
technology."
"A continued theme in our investments is the emerging voice.ai
area where we are making progress with encouraging results. We
continue to prudently invest in our future offerings and remain
focused on maximizing the return on these investments for our
shareholders," concluded Mr. Adlersberg.
Cash Dividend
On August 6, 2019, the Company
declared a cash dividend of $0.12 per
share. The dividend, in the aggregate amount of $3.5 million, was paid on September 3, 2019 to all of the Company's
shareholders of record on August 19,
2019.

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.
