RADVISION® (Nasdaq: RVSN) today reported that revenues for the fourth quarter of 2007 were $22.3 million, in line with the Company’s forecast, compared to revenues of $25.3 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2006.
The Company incurred an operating loss of $0.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2007 compared with operating income of $3.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Excluding the effects of stock-based compensation expense related to the adoption of FAS123R in both periods, non-GAAP operating income was $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared with $4.7 million in fourth quarter of 2006.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $2.5 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared with $7.2 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, in the 2006 fourth quarter. Excluding the effect of stock-based compensation expense (which amounted to $1.4 million or $0.07 per diluted share in the 2007 fourth quarter and $1.3 million or $0.06 per diluted share in the 2006 fourth quarter), non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $3.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared with $8.5 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, reported in the fourth quarter of 2006.
The Company had forecast that net income for the fourth quarter of 2007 would approximate $1.2 million or $0.06 per diluted share including a tax benefit of $0.1 million and stock-based compensation expense of $1.4 million related to the adoption of FAS123R. The Company recorded a higher tax benefit, totaling $1.6 million and equivalent to $0.07 per diluted share, for the 2007 fourth quarter, which compares with a tax benefit of $2.1 million, equivalent to $0.09 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2006. The stock-based compensation expense was in line with the Company’s forecast. The Company further noted that its financial income for the fourth quarter of 2007 was reduced by $380,000, equivalent to $0.02 per diluted share, due to valuation allowance of certain investment securities.
Business unit revenues for the fourth quarter of 2007 consisted of $17.1 million in Networking Business Unit (NBU) sales compared with $18.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, and $5.2 million in Technology Business Unit (TBU) sales compared with $6.4 million in the 2006 fourth quarter.
For the full year 2007, revenues were $92.0 million, operating income was $2.0 million and net income was $9.9 million or $0.44 per diluted share. Excluding the effect of stock-based compensation expense (which amounted to $5.4 million or $0.24 per diluted share), non-GAAP operating income for 2007 was $7.4 million and net income was $15.3 million or $0.68 per diluted share. For full year 2006, revenues were $91.0 million, operating income was $8.5 million and net income was $15.2 million or $0.67 per diluted share. Excluding the effects of stock-based compensation expense (amounting to $4.8 million and equivalent to $0.21 per diluted share) and a patent settlement reserve recognized in the 2006 third quarter (of $1.9 million, and equivalent to $0.08 per diluted share), operating income for full year 2006 was $15.2 million and net income was $21.9 million or $0.96 per diluted share, on a non-GAAP basis.
The Company ended 2007 with approximately $130.7 million in cash and liquid investments, equivalent to $6.09 per basic share, a decrease of $4.5 million from September 30, 2007. The decrease reflects a decrease in
cash flow from operating activities of $0.2 million, which includes one time amortization of auction rate securities in the amount of $0.6 million, by the use of $4.0 million for the repurchase of 351,179 Company shares and $0.3 million of capital expenditures.
Boaz Raviv, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “The successful introduction of our SCOPIA 5.5 platform with High Definition Continuous Presence enabled us to regain our footing in the fourth quarter. The technology and cost advantages of SCOPIA 5.5, which includes SCOPIA Desktop for easy connectivity between room conferencing systems and the desktop, enabled us to make additional inroads in our market. Sales through our reseller channel increased 49% sequentially. Our fourth quarter results also included higher than forecasted sales through Cisco, our largest channel partner, which rose 15% from the third quarter of 2007.”
Mr. Raviv added: “Positive momentum in our marketplace, especially in enterprise, and a favorable competitive environment further supported our progress in the fourth quarter. As the only independent networking infrastructure provider, we now have a singular opportunity to build market share, resume our growth and accelerate our progress. We plan to pursue that opportunity aggressively. We have unified our Networking Business Unit to sharpen our focus on the enterprise market. We will increase our investment in R&D and marketing and sales in our NBU in 2008 to support and expand our OEM and reseller channels and deliver additional market-leading technology. We also will continue to invest in the product development roadmap of our Technology Business Unit. Although TBU revenues were less than forecast in the fourth quarter due to deal slippage, it continues to build our reputation as a technology leader with award-winning products and advances in SIP Server and IMS technology. We expect our investment company-wide to begin benefiting our revenues and operating profitability in the second half of the year.”

GAAP versus NON-GAAP Presentation
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses non-GAAP measures of operating results, net income and earnings per share, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the expenses recorded for stock compensation in accordance with SFAS 123(R). These non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance overall understanding of the current financial performance and prospects for the future. Specifically, the Company believes the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management, and investors as these non-GAAP results exclude the expenses recorded for stock compensation in accordance with SFAS 123(R) that the Company believes are not indicative of the core operating results. Further, these non-GAAP results are one of the primary indicators management uses for assessing the Company’s performance, allocating resources and planning and forecasting future periods. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. These non-GAAP measures may be different than the non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
