"We are pleased to report another quarter of growing revenues and improved financial performance. This is our fourth consecutive quarter of growth since July 2012 when we realigned operations in order to position our business for growth," said Shabtai Adlersberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of AudioCodes. "In the second quarter of 2013 we experienced good momentum and success in our networking business which grew 8% over the previous quarter and 14% year-over-year. Our networking business now comprises approximately 86% of our total revenues. We are aligned with leading software and networking industry leaders through numerous partnerships. Accordingly, we are confident in our ability to sustain similar growth rates in our business as we move forward. Supporting this longer term potential is the solid multi-year growth in markets where we play a leading role, such as Unified Communications, Hosted Telephony, SIP Trunking and Contact Centers. In addition, the increased pace of transition from voice into cloud and hosted telephony applications opens opportunities for us in new two strategic directions."
