本季度内,AudioCodes斥资约1510万美元回购了150万股普通股。此外,在8月宣布每股派息0.20美元后,公司支付了总计约480万美元的半年度股息。

业务与经营表现

微软业务与连接业务

微软相关业务占总营收的近66%。第三季度该业务营收增长4%至4300万美元,前九个月营收增长5.2%至1.25亿美元。管理层表示,该业务全年营收仍有望突破1.70亿美元。

微软相关新增商机达到9000万美元,同比增长9.4%。与Teams Phone挂钩的新合同价值预订额超过2000万美元,同比增长61%,连续两个季度创历史新高。

涵盖会话边界控制器(SBC)、网关和客户端设备(CPE)的连接业务营收保持平稳。前九个月SBC营收增长8.2%,管理层预计全年SBC营收将超过1.35亿美元,刷新2024年创下的1.31亿美元历史纪录。2026年网关营收预计约为5000万美元。

AudioCodes Live Platform亦实现扩张。9月份月度经常性收入接近50万美元,同比增长约35%;在签约一家亚太大型客户后,年化经常性收入突破550万美元。

VoiceAI

VoiceAI仍是公司增长最快的业务,季度营收同比增长近50%。2026年前九个月,VoiceAI Connect和LiveHub预订额增长60%,新增商机较2025年同期增长超过40%。

公司重点提到了与一家北美大型网络运营商签订的为期24个月、金额达数百万美元的VoiceAI合同。此外,德国电信(Deutsche Telekom)亦选择VoiceAI Connect用于其Mobile AI Notes服务,将该平台作为其移动网络与Mistral AI之间的连接与编排层。

Voca CIC在教育、金融服务和大型企业领域斩获更多新客户,其中包括一家美国大型高等教育机构、一家德国保险公司,以及一家通过AT&T Business签约的《财富》500强企业。

Meeting Insights云端版处理的会议量同比增长90%。月度经常性收入翻倍以上,活跃用户数增长50%。管理层表示,更聚焦垂直行业的销售策略提升了本季度的新客户转化率。

在Mia Edge方面,AudioCodes在以色列的国防、医疗健康、安防、基础设施及政府领域新增了11家客户。公司还为以色列人口与移民局部署了实时翻译应用,欧洲两家对口机构目前也在对该解决方案进行评估。

管理层指引

AudioCodes重申了以下2026年业绩预期:

  • 营收为2.51亿至2.56亿美元。
  • Non-GAAP稀释后每股收益为0.60至0.75美元。
  • VoiceAI营收为2500万美元,管理层长期目标是到2028年达5000万美元。
  • 微软相关全年营收超过1.70亿美元。
  • SBC营收超过1.35亿美元,网关营收约为5000万美元。

上述数据为管理层目标,仍取决于市场需求、执行情况以及公司所述的各项风险。

风险与关注点

尽管营收实现增长,营业盈利能力却有所下滑。GAAP营业利润率从6.6%降至5.3%,Non-GAAP营业利润率从9.5%降至7.4%。

营收集中度依然显著,微软相关业务占总业务的近三分之二,前15大客户贡献了第三季度营收的56%。

管理层还指出,行业竞争、定价、产品普及度、AI相关技术变革、监管动态、全球经济状况以及与以色列相关的敌对行动可能造成的潜在干扰,均是可能影响业绩的因素。

在VoiceAI领域,大型云通信提供商正将自有的AI智能体整合进现有平台。这给AudioCodes中立于厂商的编排模式带来了竞争层面的挑战。

分析师问答环节亮点

当被问及企业为何会选择VoiceAI Connect,而非微软、Zoom、NICE或其他通信提供商捆绑的AI工具时,管理层表示,大型机构往往青睐同类最优(best-of-breed)的架构。VoiceAI Connect的设计初衷正是为了让客户能够随着技术性能和定价的演化,灵活更换大语言模型、语音技术及其他组件。

关于Mia Edge在受监管和物理隔离(air-gapped)环境中的应用落地,管理层称需求十分迫切,国防领域尤为突出。公司表示,与传统的网络和电信项目相比,客户往往会更快地测试应用、提出改进要求并更快投入实际生产。管理层还提及,欧洲部分寻求在公共云环境之外运营的机构对该产品的兴趣正日益浓厚。

Shabtai Adlersberg

Thank you, Niran. Third quarter 2026 delivered solid financial results and healthy operating performance with both core business areas moving forward. Connectivity for UCaaS and CCaaS is an established profitable market-leading activity. VoiceAI is a younger business started back in 2018, continues to expand and is projected to become a major growth driver over the coming years. Two primary growth engines continue to propel revenue, Live Managed Services and VoiceAI application aimed at the emerging intelligent voice enterprise. By the end of third quarter 2026, they jointly represented $87 million in annual recurring revenues, a 16% increase from the prior year, which highlights how much high-quality recurring revenue now contributes to the business model.

Over the last 3 years, annual recurring revenue has expanded by almost 90%, providing a solid base for further growth. Results from both primary business matched expectations. Connectivity held its leading position in the UCaaS and CCaaS market, and VoiceAI kept growing at 40% to 50% year-over-year. As a result, the company remains on course for its stated VoiceAI revenue target of $25 million in 2026 and its goal of $50 million by 2028.

Now to some of the financial highlights of the quarter. Year-over-year revenue growth picked up to 4.2%. Over 90% of revenue came from the enterprise segment with the Microsoft Teams Phone business expanding 4%. Connectivity covering the SBC, Gateways and CPE business lines has kept its revenue steady. The SBC business line has had a good year so far. Revenue is up 8.2% year-to-date versus the 3 -- the first 3 quarters of 2025, and full year revenue is on track to exceed $135 million, which would be -- which would set a record above the prior high of $131 million back in 2024.

Among Gateway sales, third quarter '26 was the best quarter of the year-to-date, and the full year is projected to roughly $50 million. 2026 will mark a second consecutive year of stability and modest growth following the Gateway revenue decline of 2023 and 2024. Service revenue rose 19.8% year-over-year and now makes up for about 58% of total revenues. Headcount stood at 992 full-time employees at the close of third quarter, 9 fewer positions than in the prior quarter. Operating activities generated $4.1 million in net cash during the quarter. All those represent great financial performance in the third quarter.

So to business strategy. What is driving our new growth story? What gives us the confidence that our strategy direction is the right one and that we are well positioned to capitalize on the opportunities ahead. Several durable industry trends underpin the growth strategy. Reshaping enterprise communications through the adoption of new intelligent voice technologies. Central to this shift is the fast growth of GenAI, which is altering how people engage with computers, machines and intelligent systems.

Voice is quickly becoming one of the most natural, intuitive and capable interfaces linking people and machines. Advances in speech recognition, natural language processing and understanding and real-time conversational AI make interactions with intelligent systems feel increasingly human. These advances also carry VoiceAI beyond basic human-machine interaction. They open the way to intelligent automation of conversations, communications and business workflows throughout the enterprise. Taken together, these developments strengthen the view that intelligent voice for our enterprise is a major growth opportunity, and they underline the decision to speed up investment in intelligent voice solution for the enterprises.

AudioCodes has invested in the UCaaS world for more than 25 years now, which places us in a strong position to pursue this opportunity, a customer base that has grown over several decades in voice communication to thousands of accounts for both voice communication and infrastructure, together with its long-standing leadership in voice system and solution supports the company ability to lead this space.

Now let's move to some of the actual business line. Now let's talk first about Microsoft. Microsoft is practically delivering about close to 66% of our overall business. Third quarter 2026 revenue came to $43 million, up 4% year-over-year. Over the first 9 months of 2026, revenue from the Microsoft business rose 5.2% year-over-year to $125 million, which keeps the company on course for its stated full year revenue goal of above $170 million. Newly created opportunities in this space reached $90 million, a 9.4% increase over the prior year that points to a healthy demand environment ahead.

Bookings of new contract value linked to Microsoft Teams Phone activity climbed 61% year-over-year to more than $20 million. The quarter marks the second consecutive record quarter, which is a solid evidence of this segment potential and our leadership in the space. Momentum built in the third quarter on the opportunity that's above $10 million that we reported in the previous quarter. After starting at a monthly recurring revenue of only tens of [thousands of] dollars in the second quarter, the focus is now for an MRR of several hundred thousand by mid-2027. As reported earlier, the project is expected to contribute several million dollars of product revenue annually over the next 3 years on top of the annual Gateway sales. The Microsoft Team voice ecosystem is healthy. Overall, Teams Phone represents only a small share of the more than 320 million monthly active Teams users and with voice becoming more central to Microsoft enterprise strategy and for AI-driven Copilot workplace, the long-term outlook for this market looks favorable.

A key component of our sales in the Microsoft space is the Live Platform for Live Teams. Sales of Live platform made good headway in the third quarter as the platform serves the core underlying technology for the Live Teams solution portfolio. Enterprises, service providers and partners use AudioCodes Live platform, a cloud-based voice service delivery platform, to deploy, manage and scale enterprise voice communications and AI-powered voice services, comprising of voice connectivity, centralized management and automation.

AudioCodes Live platform kept up its strong growth in the third quarter. September monthly recurring revenue came close to $0.5 million, an increase of roughly 35% year-over-year. A new large customer in Asia Pacific signed in the third quarter of '26 helped push Live platform services beyond $5.5 million in annualized recurring revenues. This adds to the momentum behind the cloud-based intelligent voice services strategy.

Now to the conversational AI business at AudioCodes. The VoiceAI growth strategy was carried out successfully in third quarter, adding one more quarter of growth. VoiceAI revenue rose by nearly 50% year-over-year. The first 9 months of 2025 (sic) compared to those first 3 -- 9 months of 2025. That results move the business near to its stated annual goal of 50% growth year-over-year and $25 million in revenue for the full year of 2026. Strength in voice AI technologies, combined with a distinctive mix of expertise in telephony, networking, security, management and orchestration for intelligent voice in business application across cloud and edge computing underlines the success in the conversational AI segment. The discussion now moves to business lines within that category in more detail.

Let's begin with VoiceAI Connect. AudioCodes' VoiceAI Connect technology and solution link enterprise telephony networks with the fast-growing ecosystem of VoiceAI business applications. Drawing on AudioCodes' deep experience in voice communication and SBC technology, VoiceAI Connect lets enterprises and solution providers join existing telephony infrastructure such as the PSTN, SIP Trunk, PBX, UCaaS, CCaaS and the WebRTC to advance conversational AI solution. Large enterprise and service provider customers, among them, Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, Rabobank and others, are planning to build tens of distinct VoiceAI agents across their operations, all would be voice AI target market. Connectivity is only one part of the offering.

VoiceAI Connect also supplies a flexible orchestration layer that integrates and coordinates best-of-breed AI technologies. Those including speech-to-text, text-to-speech, large language models, speaker identification and authentication, real-time translation and voice analytics and recording. Above these layers sit enterprise applications such as integration with CRMs, contact centers, databases and business workflows.

Now VoiceAI Connect and LiveHub operations advanced significantly over the course of third quarter '26, an accelerating pipeline, steady flow of new logos, substantial expansion with the existing customer base made the momentum broad-based. Invoicing revenues grew by close to 40% over the first 9 months of 2025 (sic), 60% increase in booking was recorded for the first 9 months of 2026 versus the prior year period. The number of new opportunities created was more than 40% higher than in the same period of 2025. Notable wins with large enterprises in North America and Europe are also worth mentioning, including a major multimillion dollar and 24-month contract from a very large network operator in North America.

What was unique in this quarter that usually VoiceAI Connect opportunities wins are typically staying confidential, usually are not allowed to be talked about, but there was one unique announcement that was published in the third quarter. Deutsche Telekom announced that they have selected AudioCodes VoiceAI Connect for their AI-powered mobile services. So in October 2026, Deutsche Telekom announced the deployment of AudioCodes VoiceAI Connect to power its new Mobile AI Notes mobile service for business customers, providing automatically recording, transcribing and summarizations for mobile conversations. VoiceAI Connect serves the connectivity and orchestration layer between Deutsche Telekom Mobile Network and Mistral AI, a French company, demonstrating its ability to enable scalable network integrated VoiceAI services. This deployment represents an important strategic validation of VoiceAI Connect's potential as an enabling platform for telecom operators seeking to introduce and monetize a broad-based range of AI-powered voice services.

Now to Voca CIC, our AI-first contact center solution for Microsoft Teams. Voca CIC kept up its strong operational momentum during the quarter, fueled by new customer wins in education, financial services and large enterprises, along with growing adoption of AI capabilities. Revenue in the third quarter grew according to plan.

Let me dwell on some unique wins in that quarter. We see deeper traction in education mainly. Another major U.S. higher education institution chose Voca CIC this quarter as part of a project that also covers the AudioCodes Live for Microsoft Teams. The deal additionally covered omnichannel capabilities with Agent Insights, the automated conversation summarization for agents, supporting them. Dozens of universities and colleges worldwide are now customers, reflecting both the depth and the potential of the education vertical for Voca CIC.

Next, let's talk about financial services. After the Swiss and the Asian banking wins for Voca CIC noted in earlier quarters, a major German insurance company chose Voca CIC this quarter to replace its legacy contact center. That makes 3 quarters in a row in which major financial institution has selected Voca CIC. And then let's talk about partner-driven wins. Voca CIC is bundled with AudioCodes Live for Microsoft Teams migration projects and the same approach applies with AT&T Business and its AT&T Cloud Voice offering for Teams phone. In the third quarter, the partnership produced a win of a Fortune 500 global enterprise, who chose Voca CIC through AT&T...

Operator

Apologies for interrupting. Sorry, Mr. Adlersberg, your line has just gone robotic for a moment. Apologies.

Shabtai Adlersberg

Okay. Can I continue?

Operator

Yes, sir. If you keep talking, I'll let you know once it's cleared up.

Shabtai Adlersberg

Fine. Okay. So let's move on to the next VoiceAI area of activity, which is Meeting Insights. Talking about Meeting Insights Cloud Edition, strong momentum carried Meeting Insights Cloud Edition through the quarter as key operating metrics kept growing. Meeting volume climbed 90% year-over-year. Monthly recurring revenue more than doubled and active number of users set new records with 50% year-over-year growth. By the end of the third quarter 2026, Meeting Insights has become a mature, field-proven cloud platform shaped by years of innovation and customer deployments. A significant rise in the use of Meeting Insights mobile client recording ranked among the main developments of third quarter.

Beginning in third quarter '26, a shift in the go-to-market approach to specific verticals has noticeably improved the success rate in winning new accounts, customized tailored workflow solution for these verticals form the basis of the strategy, which keeps gaining traction and is producing meaningful commercial and operational momentum.

Moving to the last business line in the VoiceAI business. Moving on to Mia Edge. Mia Edge is our next-generation Meeting Insights on-prem solution, which provides secured meeting analysis and intelligent extraction. Interest in air-gapped solution, which operate without access to the Internet and/or to cloud services has been rising in recent years. Secure meeting insight and intelligent extraction are what Mia Edge offers with government and defense use cases as the main target.

Growing worldwide emphasis on data sovereignty has produced comparable needs in the verticals such as health care and finance. More than 25 accounts were active as of the second quarter, according to our previous reporting, 10 were in production and the rest in pilots and implementation. A new advanced solution launched in the third quarter brought in 11 new customers across defense, health care, security, infrastructure and government in Israel.

The quarter saw the first development and deployment in Israel of a real-time translation application for asylum seekers. Adopted by the State Population and Immigration Authority, it provides live translation in tens of interview rooms daily. It is now in full use. Evaluation of this solution is now underway at 2 comparable European authorities. Other public organizations, including such as police and further public service entities are also evaluating the real-time translation application as a way to simplify the typically complex job of serving foreign citizens and visitors in a given country.

And with that, I've pretty much concluded my presentation. Just to wrap up, operational momentum was good in the third quarter of 2026, driven especially by continued strong growth in 2 primary engines, the Live family of Managed Services and VoiceAI business application. Steady gains in recurring revenue operations and services keep the company on track to meet its business target for the full year of 2026. And with that, I've concluded my presentation, and I'll open the session for question and answers. Operator?

Operator

[Operator Instructions] We have a question from Joshua Reilly with Needham.

分析师问答

Joshua Reilly

Starting off on VoiceAI Connect, you've positioned it as a vendor-neutral orchestration layer that keeps enterprises from being tied to a single AI vendor. At the same time, Microsoft, Zoom, NICE and other cloud communication vendors are all bundling their own AI agents into their platforms. In your recent wins and pipeline, how often are customers choosing a best-of-breed multi-vendor approach versus just using the AI that comes with their phone or contact center platform? And what's typically driving that choice?

Shabtai Adlersberg

Okay. Thank you, Josh. Well, as we all know, VoiceAI is making advances at a very fast pace. And actually, we all know that large enterprises prefer a best-of-breed approach, meaning they would like to choose each a different LLM that's adapted to their specific need, a different speech-to-text and a few more.

So yes, it's true that the traditional, I would say, UC providers such as Microsoft and others have a complete set of functionalities. But when we work with large enterprises and talking to enterprises that has hundreds of employees, they prefer to work with some of the more advanced frameworks, some mature those from Google or from others. And usually, the flexibility, just assume that you've been working with an LLM and there's a new one that came up more accurate, cheaper, you would like to be able to switch to that new LLM in a matter of simple development. And that was the value that VoiceAI Connect offers as it is providing full flexibility in moving and evolving their solution with different components that may appear at a very fast pace.

Joshua Reilly

Great. On Mia Edge, you've described strong interest from government, defense, health care and finance customers that can't use AI on public clouds. How eager are these regulated customers to adopt AI in closed or air-gapped environments today? And are they moving from pilots to production or still mostly evaluating?

Shabtai Adlersberg

Well, actually, the need is very kind of urgent, especially when you're talking about defense applications, they need to move fast because we all understand that use of meeting intelligence and the ability to transcribe, generate summaries and similar application is ramping very fast. Think about organizations, which are in need to respond to new threats at a very fast pace. So yes, I think we are usually and substantially different than what we see in networking and telecom.

The move is pretty fast. They test the application fairly fast, respond on what needs to be fixed and/or improved and then they move very fast to production. So -- and this is an increasing trend today in the world. Everybody kind of starts -- well, big organizations, enterprises and governments feel the need to go completely off the public Internet and clouds. And therefore, it is talking about organization in Europe, we know that they are very anxious to be using their own technology, and they do not want to go cloud. So it's a fast growing trend.

Operator

[Operator Instructions] Okay. As we have no further questions on the lines at this time, I would like to turn the call back over to Mr. Adlersberg for any closing remarks.

Shabtai Adlersberg

Thank you, operator. I would like to thank everyone who attended our conference call today. With continued solid performance in our UCaaS and CCaaS operations and rapid growth in the VoiceAI business, we believe we are on track to grow and expand our business in the next coming years. We look forward to your participation in our next quarterly conference call. Thank you all. Have a nice day.

Operator

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, this does conclude today's conference. You may disconnect your lines at this time, and we thank you for your participation.
