Operating income for third quarter of 2009 was $1.4 million compared with an operating loss of $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2008. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income was $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared with an operating loss of $2.6 million in third quarter of 2008, excluding the effects of stock-based compensation expense in accordance with SFAS 123R in both periods.
Net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $1.2 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $4.5 million, or $0.22 per share, in the third quarter of 2008. On non-GAAP basis, net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $2.5 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, excluding stock-based compensation expense of $1.0 million and a loss of $0.3 million due to the write-down of certain Auction Rate Securities, with the total of $1.3 million equivalent to $0.07 per diluted share. This compares with a non-GAAP net loss of $1.7 million or $0.09 per share in third quarter of 2008, which excludes stock-based compensation expense of $1.7 million and a loss of $1.1 million due to the write-down of certain Auction Rate Securities, with the total of $2.8 million equivalent to $0.13 per diluted share.
Total revenues for the third quarter of 2009 consisted of $15.6 million for the Networking Business Unit (NBU) and $4.8 million for the Technology Business Unit (TBU) compared with $17.3 million for the NBU and $4.3 million for the TBU reported in the third quarter of 2008.
The Company’s forecast for the third quarter of 2009 presented July 30 was for revenues of $20 million, non-GAAP operating income of $1.7 million and non-GAAP net income of $1.8 million or $0.09 per diluted share, excluding stock-based compensation expense in accordance with SFAS 123R of $1.2 million or $0.06 per diluted share.
For the first nine months of 2009, revenues were $58.3 million, operating income was $0.5 million and net income was $0.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share. This compares with revenues of $62.0 million, an operating loss of $12.7 million, and a net loss of $11.5 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2008. On a non-GAAP basis, the Company had operating income of $3.8 million and net income of $4.6 million or $0.24 per diluted share for the first nine months of 2009. This excludes the effect of stock-based compensation expense of $3.3 million and a loss of $0.5 million due to the write-down of certain Auction Rate Securities, with the total of $3.8 million equivalent to $0.20 per diluted share. The non-GAAP operating loss for the first nine months of 2008 was $8.5 million and the net loss was $5.7 million, or $0.27 per diluted share. This excludes stock-based compensation expense of $4.3 million and a loss of $1.5 million due to the write-down of certain Auction Rate Securities, with the total of $5.8 million equivalent to $0.28 per diluted share.
The Company ended the third quarter of 2009 with approximately $120.0 million in cash and liquid investments, equivalent to $6.17 per basic share, an increase of $1.8 million from June 30, 2009. The increase reflects $2.5 million provided by operating activities offset by $0.7 million used for capital expenditures.
Boaz Raviv, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We delivered stronger than expected revenues and earnings in the third quarter of 2009 largely because of the immediate success of our next generation MCU, the SCOPIA Elite, along with our fully refreshed SCOPIA 7.0 product line.
“For more than two years, we have executed our plan to reassert our technology leadership and return to profitability and growth. Our third quarter performance shows the tangible results of this effort and includes Cisco’s accelerated adoption of our SCOPIA Elite. We now face a new challenge because of the decision by Cisco, our largest customer, to acquire Tandberg. We currently expect our sales to Cisco in the fourth quarter of 2009 to be in line with our original expectations. Going forward, while we are embedded in many of Cisco’s videoconferencing solutions and they may remain a large customer through and perhaps beyond 2010, we must be prudent and assume that our Cisco sales will step down progressively through 2010.
“Fortunately, Cisco’s decision comes at time of renewed strength for RADVISION. In addition to our strong product portfolio, we have been successful in expanding our OEM and major reseller relationships, which now include IBM, LifeSize, Alcatel Lucent and Huawei. We plan to release by year-end another exciting product that our TBU co-developed with our partner Samsung. It is the recently introduced VC240, which is an affordable all-in-one high definition video desktop device. The VC240 continues to attract high levels of market excitement and interest and has opened more doors to us as we continue our strategy of broadening and deepening our channel and reseller network. Furthering that goal and continuing our desktop technology advancement, we recently unveiled our High Definition SCOPIA Desktop video conferencing client for Apple’s Mac OS X platform. Last week, we announced that the latest version of SCOPIA Desktop V7.0 has been fully optimized with Microsoft Windows 7 and the latest Intel technologies including the new high performance Intel Core i7 and Intel Atom processors.”
Mr. Raviv concluded: “We have overcome significant challenges over the past three years and we intend to become stronger because of our latest challenge. In fact, Cisco’s decision has disrupted the Unified Communications marketplace and created new opportunities for RADVISION as the only independent network infrastructure provider. We are moving quickly to capture those opportunities.”
Guidance
The following statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.
The Company expects to report revenues for the fourth quarter of 2009 of approximately $21.5 million and net income of approximately $2.3 million or $0.12 per diluted share. This includes stock-based compensation expense in accordance with SFAS 123R of $1.0 million or $0.05 per diluted share.

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 net profit and loss from other than temporary impairment of available-for-sale marketable securities and the expenses recorded for stock compensation in accordance with SFAS 123R. 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 other than temporary impairment of available-for-sale marketable securities and the expenses recorded for stock compensation in accordance with SFAS 123R 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 from the non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
