Or Yehuda, Israel – August 4, 2026 - AudioCodes (NASDAQ: AUDC) Press Release

 

AudioCodes (the “Company”), a global leader in enterprise voice and VoiceAI business solutions, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2026 were $63 million compared to $61.1 million for the second quarter of 2025.

Net income was $0.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2026 compared to net income of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025. 

On a Non-GAAP basis, net income was $3.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $4.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025. 

Non-GAAP net income excludes: (i) share-based compensation expenses; (ii) amortization expenses related to intangible assets; and (iii) financial income (expenses) related to exchange rate differences in connection with revaluation of assets and liabilities in non-dollar denominated currencies. Non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin exclude: (i) share-based compensation expenses and (ii) amortization expenses related to intangible assets. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided in the tables that accompany the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this press release.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.1 million for the second quarter of 2026. Cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, short-term marketable securities, and long-term financial investments were $64.2 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $75.7 million as of December 31, 2025. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, short-term marketable securities, and long-term financial investments was the result of the use of cash for the continued repurchase of the Company’s ordinary shares pursuant to its share repurchase program and the payment of a cash dividend during the first quarter. This was partially offset by cash generated from operating activities and proceeds from the maturity of marketable securities.

“I am pleased to announce strong financial results for the second quarter of 2026, reflecting well on the execution of our strategic initiative to transform AudioCodes into a voice AI-driven cloud software and services company,” stated Shabtai Adlersberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of AudioCodes.

Second-quarter results were propelled again by sustained momentum across our two principal growth pillars: the Live suite of managed services for UCaaS and CX, alongside our Conversational AI business. Collectively, these segments advanced Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) to $84 million, marking an increase of 20% compared to the year ago period. Notably, our Microsoft Teams business maintained its strong momentum, growing 5% year over year.

Consistent with the first quarter of this year, our Conversational AI business grew by more than 50% year over year in the second quarter, reflecting strong and broad-based demand across our Voice AI portfolio. The growing adoption of voice as the most natural and preferred medium for business communication and collaboration is becoming the experience of many and strengthens our confidence in the long-term growth potential of the business. During the quarter, Voice AI Connect and Live Hub delivered record bookings, driven by an accelerating pipeline, consistent new logo acquisition, and significant expansion within our existing customer base. These solutions support both virtual agent and agent-assist capabilities across the growing contact center market, in both cloud and on-premises deployments. Voca CIC, our Microsoft Teams-certified contact center solution has also generated good business progress. In addition, Meeting Insights, our enterprise-grade meeting intelligence solution for cloud and on-premises environments, continues to gain traction as customer interest grows and the opportunity pipeline steadily expands. 

“Overall, we achieved our operational and financial targets through maintaining budgetary and managerial discipline. The ongoing investments in Live services and Voice AI have significantly contributed to our current success and position us favorably for continued healthy top-line growth throughout the remainder of 2026,” concluded Mr. Adlersberg.
