TEL AVIV (July 30, 2009) –
RADVISION® (Nasdaq: RVSN) reported today that revenues for the second quarter of 2009 were $19.6 million compared with revenues of $20.8 million in the second quarter of 2008.
The Company returned to operating profitability in the second quarter of 2009 as forecasted, with operating income of $0.4 million compared with an operating loss of $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2008. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income was $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared with an operating loss of $3.0 million in second quarter of 2008, excluding the effects of stock-based compensation expense in accordance with SFAS 123R in both periods.
Net income for the second quarter of 2009 was $0.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $3.9 million, or $0.19 per share, in the second quarter of 2008. On non-GAAP basis, net income for the second quarter of 2009 was $1.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, excluding stock-based compensation expense of $1.1 million equivalent to $0.06 per diluted share. This compares with a non-GAAP net loss of $2.2 million or $0.10 per share in second quarter of 2008, which excludes stock-based compensation expense of $1.3 million and a loss of $0.4 million due to the write-down of certain Auction Rate Securities, with the total of $1.7 million equivalent to $0.09 per diluted share.
Total revenues for the second quarter of 2009 consisted of $15.0 million for the Networking Business Unit (NBU) and $4.6 million for the Technology Business Unit (TBU) compared with $15.5 million for the NBU and $5.3 million for the TBU reported in the second quarter of 2008.
For the first six months of 2009, revenues were $37.9 million, the operating loss was $0.9 million and the net loss was $0.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. This compares with revenues of $40.5 million, an operating loss of $8.4 million, and a net loss of $6.9 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2008. On a non-GAAP basis, the Company had operating income of $1.3 million and net income of $2.1 million or $0.11 per diluted share for the first six months of 2009. This excludes the effect of stock-based compensation expense of $2.3 million and a loss of $0.2 million due to the write-down of certain Auction Rate Securities, with the total of $2.5 million equivalent to $0.13 per diluted share. The non-GAAP operating loss for the first six months of 2008 was $5.8 million and the net loss was $3.9 million, or $0.19 per diluted share. This excludes stock-based compensation expense of $2.6 million and a loss of $0.4 million due to the write-down of certain Auction Rate Securities, with the total of $3.0 million equivalent to $0.14 per diluted share.
The Company ended the second quarter of 2009 with approximately $118.1 million in cash and liquid investments, equivalent to $6.08 per basic share, an increase of $0.5 million from March 31, 2009. The increase reflects $1.0 million provided by operating activities offset by $0.5 million used for capital expenditures.
Boaz Raviv, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Returning to operating profitability in the second quarter was an important next step in the plan we announced 18 months ago to restore profitable growth. To accomplish our plan, we completed an accelerated investment in R&D and marketing and sales in 2008, which
enabled us to reach an important new milestone in the second quarter of 2009 in our objective to reassert our technology leadership.
“That milestone was the introduction of SCOPIA 7.0, a powerful combination of products for scalable and affordable High Definition (HD) videoconferencing. SCOPIA 7.0 includes our Next Generation videoconferencing MCU, the SCOPIA Elite, an entirely new architecture utilizing the latest in DSP technologies and supporting high-end HD up to full 1080p resolution, as well as our Scalable Video Coding (SVC) technology along with other enhancements to our desktop and recording product lines. We also introduced an exciting and potentially revolutionary new product, the VC240, which our Technology Business Unit developed with Samsung, the world leader in LCD screen technology. The VC240 is an all-in-one desktop device that integrates advanced HD videoconferencing into a high-resolution multimedia LCD monitor. Because the VC240 processes full HD video within the device, it can operate independently of the PC and can be used as a desktop videophone without having to boot up the PC. Samsung and RADVISION are first to market with such an all-in-one desktop unit at an affordable price, about one-third of any competing Executive Desktop product, which could help commoditize and democratize videoconferencing.
“We also made further progress in broadening and deepening our partner relationships in the second quarter of 2009 including Alcatel-Lucent, building upon our video solution for MyTeamwork and our already productive marketing relationship. IBM Japan announced the launch in May of their Desktop Video Enterprise Services through IBM Global Services based on the full line of RADVISION products including the SameTime integration with SCOPIA Desktop. Our OEM partner LifeSize will include SCOPIA Elite in their product line. We had strong revenues from our largest partner Cisco in the second quarter and certification of SCOPIA 7.0 for Cisco is underway.
“In addition to its enormous achievement in co-developing the VC240, our TBU had several important deals in the second quarter demonstrating how we are extending our TBU market solutions beyond standard applications to provide solutions in projects for voice and video clients and Unified Communications client solutions.”
Boaz Raviv, Chief Executive Officer, concluded: “The second quarter of 2009 reflects a period of exciting innovation and continued strategy execution for our Company. In the third quarter, we are focusing on the very important and demanding next step of rolling out our new products to all our OEM partners, which entails certifying each product in each of our OEM partner’s environments. We plan to finish the certification and customization of SCOPIA Elite and SCOPIA 7.0 for our partners by the fourth quarter and expect sales from those products to begin ramping up at the time. We expect the VC240 to be generally available at the end of September.
“As a result of this timetable and recognizing that the recessionary environment is continuing to delay some major deals, we expect to achieve a modest sequential increase in revenues with stronger growth in operating income in the third quarter of 2009, followed by a return to year-over-year revenue growth and greater profitability in the final quarter of 2009.”

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.
