– Revenues of $20.7 Million Are in Line with Revised Forecast –

TEL AVIV (November 01, 2007) –

RADVISION® (Nasdaq: RVSN) today announced that revenues for the third quarter of 2007 were $20.7 million, which is in line with the Company’s revised forecast reported on October 1. This compares to revenues of $23.6 million reported in the third quarter of 2006.
The Company incurred an operating loss of $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2007 compared with operating income of $1.1 million in the third 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 breakeven in the third quarter of 2007 compared with operating income of $2.3 million in third quarter of 2006.
Net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared with $2.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the 2006 third quarter. Excluding the effect of stock-based compensation expense (which amounted to $1.4 million or $0.06 per diluted share in the 2007 third quarter and $1.2 million or $0.05 per diluted share in the 2006 third quarter), non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $1.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared with $3.2 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, reported in the third quarter of 2006.
Business unit revenues for the third quarter of 2007 consisted of $14.4 million in Networking Business Unit (NBU) sales compared with $17.7 million in the third quarter of 2006, and $6.3 million in Technology Business Unit (TBU) sales compared with $5.9 million in the 2006 third quarter.
For the first nine months of 2007, revenues were $69.7 million, operating income was $2.2 million and net income was $7.4 million or $0.33 per diluted share. This compares with revenues of $65.8 million, operating income of $5.1 million and net income of $8.1 million or $0.36 per diluted share in the first nine months of 2006. Excluding the effect of stock-based compensation expense (which amounted to $4.1 million or $0.17 per diluted share in the first nine months of 2007 and $3.5 million or $0.15 per diluted share for the first nine months of 2006), non-GAAP operating income for the first nine months of 2007 was $6.3 million and net income was $11.5 million or $0.50 per diluted share compared with non-GAAP operating income of $8.5 million and net income of $11.6 million or $0.51 per diluted share for the first nine months of 2006.
The Company ended the third quarter of 2007 with approximately $135.2 million in cash and liquid investments, equivalent to $6.21 per basic share, an increase of $3.3 million from June 30, 2007. The increase reflects cash flow from operating activities of $9.4 million and proceeds of $0.9 million from the exercise of options offset in part by the use of $6.3 million for the repurchase of 361,240 Company shares and $0.7 million of capital expenditures.
Boaz Raviv, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Despite better-than-expected revenues for our TBU, on-target sales through our channel partner Cisco, and accomplishments company-wide, our performance in the third quarter of 2007 did not match our original expectations. This was due to slippage of some expected sales and the fact that our High Definition SCOPIA® Platform did not yet offer Continuous Presence, which resulted in lost potential sales in the third quarter, as we previously reported.
“We were pleased to announce earlier this week that our SCOPIA V5.5 platform with HD Continuous Presence has now been released. Our SCOPIA MCU utilizes shared encoder technology that allows us to provide very
high quality High Definition, while keeping its price in the range of Standard Definition MCUs. SCOPIA V5.5 also offers what no other comparable product can – SCOPIA Desktop, which makes it a complete Unified Communications solution.
“We now plan to focus on strengthening our reseller channel while fully supporting our OEM relationships. We believe our advantage as an independent network provider combined with the strength of our product portfolio will enable us to be successful in this effort, although we are realistic that it will take time to reach our goals.
“Our fourth quarter forecast is based on this realism as well as our expectation that our sales through Cisco and those for our mobile product line and our TBU products will be in line with those of the third quarter of 2007.
Mr. Raviv concluded: “We are fully determined to get back on track with our growth trend. We expect to do so no later than the second half of 2008. We are fully confident in our ultimate success.”

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.
