The decrease in cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, long and short-term marketable securities and long-term financial investments was the result of the use of cash for the continued repurchasing of the Company's ordinary shares pursuant to its share repurchase program and the payment of a cash dividend during each of the first and third quarters of 2025. This was partially offset by cash generated from operating activities."I am pleased to report solid financial results for the fourth quarter 2025. Fourth quarter performance demonstrates our success in the ongoing evolution towards becoming a Voice AI-focused hybrid cloud software and services company", said Shabtai Adlersberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of AudioCodes.Fourth quarter's performance was driven by strong momentum across our two primary growth engines: the Live family of managed services for UCaaS and CX, and the conversational AI (CAI) business. Together, these two units drove growth in our Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) to $79 million, marking a 22% year-over-year increase. Within Conversational AI our revenues grew over 50% in the fourth quarter. Additionally, we saw recovery in our Connectivity business in NA, which was driven mainly by resurgence in demand triggered by the renewed focus on the PSTN shutdown trend in NA.We are experiencing robust and broad-based demand across our conversational AI portfolio which exhibited as a group growth of over 35% in 2025 compared to 2024. We saw substantial growth in the Voice AI Connect and Live Hub revenues which grew above 50% year-over-year. Voca CIC, our AI first CX solution for Microsoft Teams exhibited also 50% growth year-over-year. Additionally, we saw meaningful progress in our meeting insight solutions, both in the cloud edition and the on prem solution. With growing demand for our business voice applications in the enterprise space, we are confident in the success of this new growth engine for coming years. Overall, we executed well against our business goals. The increased investments in our Live services and CAI over the past several years have significantly contributed to the strong operational momentum, and are expected to contribute to sustained healthy top-line growth in 2026 and beyond," concluded Mr. Adlersberg.
