Details

AudioCodes (NASDAQ: AUDC), a leading provider of unified communications voice, contact center and conversational AI applications and services for enterprises, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2025 were $61.1 million compared to $60.3 million for the second quarter of 2024.

EBITDA for the second quarter of 2025 was $3.6 million compared to $6.2 million for the second quarter of 2024.

On a Non-GAAP basis, EBITDA for the second quarter of 2025 was $5.2 million compared to $8.3 million for the second quarter of 2024.

Net income was $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025 compared to net income of $3.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024.

On a Non-GAAP basis, net income was $4.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $5.5 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024.

Non-GAAP net income excludes: (i) share-based compensation expenses; (ii) amortization expenses related to intangible assets; (iii) financial income (expenses) related to exchange rate differences in connection with revaluation of assets and liabilities in non-dollar denominated currencies; (iv) tax impact which relates to our Non-GAAP adjustments; and (v) in Q1 2024 non-cash lease expense which is required to be recorded during the quarter even though this is a free rent period under the lease for the Company's new headquarters. 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 $7.7 million for the second quarter of 2025. Cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, long and short-term marketable securities and long-term financial investments were $95.3 million as of June 30, 2025 compared to $93.9 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase in cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, long and short-term marketable securities and long-term financial investments was the result of cash generated from operating activities. This was partially offset by 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 first quarter.

"I am pleased to report solid second quarter 2025 progress and results. Second quarter top-line growth was fueled mainly by growth of our Live managed services in the UCaaS and CX markets coupled with cross-selling our AI-powered business applications," said Shabtai Adlersberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of AudioCodes.

We saw strong demand in UC, CX, and conversational AI, with Microsoft business rising 6.5% this quarter. Conversational AI remains a key growth area, supporting our 40%-50% segment growth outlook for 2025. Live managed services also grew, driving Annual Recurring Revenues (ARR) to $70 million, a 25% year-over-year increase.

This quarter, we launched Live Platform, our integrated UCaaS and CX solution. With Webex Calling certification and Live CX services, it now supports comprehensive UC and CX features for all major global UCC vendors.

In Conversational AI, we launched the Meeting Insights On-Prem (Mia OP) solution, which delivers secure meeting intelligence for enterprises detached from the cloud and/or the internet. Designed primarily for sectors like government, defense, healthcare, and finance, Mia OP has active customers in Israel with a growing number of proof-of-concept trials underway. The team is expanding international outreach and has received positive feedback from industry analysts.

Operationally, we experienced increased expenses due to the implementation of new tariffs on US imports amounting to $1 million additional costs as well as a significant rise in costs within EMEA region driven by the strengthening of the Euro against the US dollar.  These two factors impacted our net income generation in the quarter. 

Overall, we delivered on our business priorities in the quarter, making the necessary investments in product and sales with an eye towards accelerating our growth in revenues in our Conversational AI products and solutions. We believe these investments position us well for an improved top-line growth in the medium term," concluded Mr. Adlersberg.

Share Buy Back Program

During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company acquired 715,732 of its ordinary shares under its share repurchase program for a total consideration of $6.6 million.

In July 2025, the Company received court approval in Israel to purchase up to an aggregate amount of $20 million of additional ordinary shares. The court approval also permits AudioCodes to declare a dividend out of any part of this amount. The approval is valid through December 30, 2025.

Cash Dividend

AudioCodes also announced today that the Company's Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend in the amount of 20 cents per share.
