Or Yehuda, Israel – May 5, 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Revenues for the first quarter of 2026 were $62.1 million compared to $60.4 million for the first quarter of 2025.

Net income was $2.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2026 compared to net income of $4.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025. 

On a Non-GAAP basis, net income was $3.8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $4.7 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the first 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 $12.8 million for the first quarter of 2026. Cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, short-term marketable securities, and long-term financial investments were $68.1 million as of March 31, 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 repurchasing of the Company’s ordinary shares pursuant to its share repurchase program and the payment of a cash dividend during the quarter. This was partially offset by cash generated from operating activities.

“I am pleased to announce strong financial results for the first quarter of 2026, reflecting effective execution of our strategic initiatives. In the first quarter of 2026, we made important progress in our transformation into an AI-driven hybrid cloud software and services organization,” stated Shabtai Adlersberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of AudioCodes.

The first-quarter results were propelled by sustained momentum across our two principal growth pillars: the Live suite of managed services for UCaaS and CX, alongside our Conversational AI (CAI) business. Collectively, these segments advanced Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) to $80 million, marking an increase of nearly 20% compared to the year ago period. Conversational AI business grew by over 50% year-over-year, underscoring extensive demand for our Voice AI portfolio. Voca CIC, our Teams-certified contact center solution, achieved record revenues for the quarter. Additionally, our VAIC and Live Hub products secured significant new client acquisitions and expansions within the existing customer base, driven by the rising adoption of virtual agent and agent assist applications.

Meeting Insights, our enterprise-grade cloud meeting intelligence platform, continues to experience substantial interest and increasing opportunities. The On-Prem version of Meeting Insights has also witnessed growing demand, fueled by the need for edge computing solutions, which provides enhanced control of data sovereignty, improved service availability, and cost reduction.

“We have seen continued strong positive operational cash flow. We believe that our increased investments in the Voice AI market will prove beneficial to our business expansion in the coming years. 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.
