Details

AudioCodes (NASDAQ: AUDC) (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. 

Share Buy Back Program

In May 2026, the Company received court approval in Israel to purchase up to an aggregate amount of $25 million of ordinary shares. The court approval also permits AudioCodes to declare a dividend out of any part of this amount. The approval is valid through November 12, 2026.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company acquired 950,133 of its ordinary shares under its share repurchase program for a total consideration of $8.9 million.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $17.4 million available under this approval for the repurchase of shares and/or declaration of cash dividends.

As of June 30, 2026, the total outstanding shares of the Company are 24,590,849.

Cash Dividend

AudioCodes also announced today that the Company’s Board of Directors has declared a semi-annual cash dividend in the amount of 20 cents per share. The aggregate amount of the dividend is approximately $4.8 million. The dividend is payable on September 3, 2026, to all of the Company’s shareholders of record at the close of trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on August 19, 2026.

In accordance with Israeli tax law, the dividend is subject to withholding tax at source at the rate of 25% of the dividend amount payable to each shareholder of record, subject to applicable exemptions. If the recipient of the dividend is at the time of distribution or was at any time during the preceding 12-month period the holder of 10% or more of the Company’s share capital, the withholding rate is 30%.

The dividend will be paid in U.S. dollars on the ordinary shares of AudioCodes Ltd. that are traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange. The amount and timing of any other dividends will be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.

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.

The non-GAAP measures used by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Published

on

By

Consortium led by EDF power solutions, Al Khadra Partners and OQ Alternative Energy finances the 120 MW Jaalan Bani Bu Ali (JBB) Wind Independent Power ProjectProject due to begin commercial operations in Q3 2027Once operational, the wind farm will supply low carbon electricity to more than 13,500 Omani households and avoid over 270,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually

MUSCAT, Oman, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A consortium led by EDF power solutions, Al Khadra Partners and OQ Alternative Energy (OQAE), today announced the successful achievement of financial close for the 120-megawatt (MW) Jaalan Bani Bu Ali (JBB) Wind Independent Power Project in the Sultanate of Oman.

The project follows the execution of a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Nama Power and Water Procurement Company (Nama PWP) and marks a significant milestone towards the delivery of one of Oman’s largest onshore wind farms.

Located in the South Al Sharqiyah Governorate, approximately 440 km from the Port of Duqm, the project will comprise 16 wind turbines, each with a generation capacity of 7.7 MW. The commercial operation is expected in Q3 2027.

Once operational, the JBB Wind Farm is expected to generate sufficient renewable electricity to power more than 13,500 Omani households annually, while avoiding over 270,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions each year. The project will also contribute to local economic development through job creation, skills transfer, and opportunities for Omani businesses throughout the construction and operational phases.

The project supports Oman Vision 2040 and the Sultanate’s objective of increasing the share of renewable energy in the national electricity mix to at least 30% by 2030, while advancing the country’s Net Zero 2050 ambitions.

Luc Koechlin, CEO Middle East of EDF power solutions, said: “Achieving financial close on the JBB Wind Project is a major milestone for all partners involved and demonstrates the confidence of lenders in both the project and Oman’s renewable energy market. This project marks EDF power solutions’ inaugural wind transaction in Oman, further strengthening our commitment to supporting the Sultanate’s energy transition through the development of competitive and low-carbon energy solutions. Together with our partners Al Khadra Partners and OQAE, we are proud to contribute to Oman Vision 2040 and its long-term decarbonization objectives.”

Sheikha Hind Bahwan, Chairperson of Al Khadra Partners, commented: “The successful financial close of the JBB Wind Project marks a significant milestone for our partnership and underscores our shared commitment to advancing Oman’s clean energy transition. As part of the Hind Bahwan Group, which is developing more than 3 GW of power projects across the Sultanate, we are proud to collaborate with EDF power solutions and OQ Alternative Energy in delivering one of the country’s landmark renewable energy project. This achievement reflects the strength of our partnership and our confidence in Oman’s vision for a sustainable, diversified energy future. Together, we are creating long-term economic, environmental, and social value that will benefit the Sultanate and its communities for generations to come.”

Mr. Salim Said Al Kamyani, CEO of OQ Alternative Energy, said: “Achieving financial close for the JBB Wind Project is an important milestone that demonstrates the progress Oman is making in translating its renewable energy ambitions into tangible projects. JBB represents more than 120 MW of new renewable capacity; it is part of a wider transformation of the Sultanate’s energy system and an investment in its long-term economic resilience. As Oman’s National Champion for Renewable Energy, OQAE is committed to harnessing the country’s exceptional renewable resources to strengthen energy security, diversify the energy mix and support sustainable economic growth. Projects such as JBB also create opportunities to build local capabilities, strengthen Omani supply chains and generate lasting In-Country Value. Together with EDF power solutions and Al Khadra Partners, we are proud to advance a project that contributes directly to Oman Vision 2040 and Net Zero 2050, while creating enduring value for the Sultanate and future generations.”

QYSEA Unveils Strategic Vision for Intelligent Underwater Task Systems on Its 10th Anniversary

Published

on

By

SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As QYSEA marks its 10th anniversary, the company today unveiled its strategy for the next stage of development toward intelligent underwater task systems. The strategy represents QYSEA’s vision to build the foundation for intelligent underwater operations, where underwater environments can be better modeled, missions can be executed autonomously, and robotic systems can collaborate across connected networks.

The complexity and variability of the underwater environments present shared challenges across the industry, requiring a solid foundation built on reliable robotic capabilities, adaptive task execution, and the ability to perceive and interpret operational conditions. Building on a decade of innovation and a global presence spanning more than 130 countries and regions, QYSEA’s journey has progressed through two key stages. The first stage focused on making professional underwater robotics more accessible through compact structural design, six-degree-of-freedom omnidirectional mobility, and vertically integrated R&D and manufacturing capabilities, lowering deployment barriers and enabling broader application. The second stage expanded QYSEA’s capabilities from underwater observation to professional task execution, covering inspection, measurement, and surveying through integrated robotic platforms, modular payloads, and software solutions.

To date, QYSEA has been granted more than 120 patents worldwide, reflecting its sustained investment in underwater robotics innovation. This technological foundation has been validated through real-world deployments across critical industries, including deployments with major energy companies in the Middle East for offshore jacket, water tank and pipeline inspections, as well as underwater mapping and modeling; support for European ship inspection providers conducting classification-compliant inspections, and salmon farming operations in Norway and Chile, where QYSEA enables standardized net-pen inspections and seabed monitoring.

“The next decade of underwater robotics will be defined not only by what a robot can do during a mission, but by what every mission teaches the system,” said Belinda Zhang, CEO of QYSEA. “By combining physical world understanding, autonomous mission execution and robotic collaboration networks, QYSEA aims to enable more complex underwater tasks with greater safety, consistency and intelligence.”

Looking ahead, QYSEA believes intelligent underwater task systems will reshape how industries approach underwater operations — enabling more standardized, efficient and scalable ways to inspect, maintain and manage complex underwater assets. By combining robotics, AI and accumulated mission data, QYSEA is laying the foundation for a new era of underwater physical intelligence, where the underwater world can be better perceived, understood and managed.
