Continued Improvement in Revenue and Reduction in Non-GAAP Operating Loss

HERZLIA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- VocalTec Communications Ltd. (NasdaqCM: VOCL) (the "Company" or "VocalTec"), a global provider of carrier-class multimedia and voice-over-IP solutions for communication service providers, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.

Revenues for the third quarter of 2009 were $1.9 million, an increase of 30% over the $1.5 million reported in the second quarter of 2009. The improved revenue level in the quarter was due to continued growth in product sales.

Gross margin for the third quarter of 2009 was 64% compared with 67% for the second quarter of 2009, above the Company's normal expected level of 60%.

On a non-GAAP basis, excluding amortization of intangible assets and share based compensation expenses, the operating expenses in the third quarter were $1.6 million compared with $1.7 in the prior quarter. Non-GAAP operating loss in the third quarter of 2009 was reduced to $0.4 million compared with $0.7 million in the prior quarter.

On a non-GAAP basis, net loss for the third quarter was $0.4 million or $0.07 per share, compared with a net loss of $0.7 million, or $0.12 per share, in the second quarter of 2009. Net loss on a GAAP basis for the third quarter of 2009 was $0.7 million or $0.12 per share, compared with a net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.17 per share, in the second quarter of 2009.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had net cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits and restricted cash, in the amount of $11.1 million, or $1.93 per share, compared with $11.4 million, or $1.99 per share as of June 30, 2009.

Commenting on the results, Ido Gur, the VocalTec's President and CEO, said, "Our results represent another quarter of improved parameters, both on the top and bottom line, and we are pleased with our performance. We also achieved a milestone by surpassing 100 customers further broadening our customer-base and providing us a solid basis for our long-term performance and growth."

Mr. Gur further commented, "Our results testify that the efforts we have put in place over the past year have borne fruit. Given that our fourth quarter is seasonally strong, we are in a comfortable position to achieve our target of revenue growth in 2009 over that of 2008. In addition, our cash position, standing at over $11 million, places us in a position to take advantage of opportunities that will provide us with additional future growth engines in the medium to long-term, which we are very much focused on pursuing."

* To supplement our consolidated financial statement presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use NON-GAAP measures of operating results, net income, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the expense we recorded for share-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets. These NON-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the NON-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors as these NON-GAAP results exclude matters that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. Further, these NON-GAAP results are one of the primary indicators management uses for assessing our 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.
