Speaker #2: Built on our market-leading SBC technology, voice AI Connect enables enterprises to connect virtually any voice or telephony environment with leading cognitive voice services and bot frameworks.

Speaker #2: As innovation across the conversational AI ecosystem continues at a rapid pace, enterprises increasingly require flexibility to support heterogeneous environments consisting of both frameworks and cognitive services from various vendors.

Speaker #2: Voice AI Connect is uniquely positioned to address this need as the leading pupil of voice AI orchestration platform in the market. It offers the industry's most comprehensive libraries of pre-integrated APIs and connectors and multiple of deployment options.

Shabtai Adlersberg: As the leading pure-play Voice AI orchestration platform in the market, it offers the industry most comprehensive libraries of pre-integrated APIs and connectors and multiple deployment options, no matter whether it's deployed on-prem, private, public cloud. This enables customers to rapidly and flexibly deploy and evolve Voice AI solutions without being tied to a single AI vendor or architecture. This open and flexible approach aligns well with the dynamic nature of conversational AI landscape and plays directly into AudioCodes' strength in voice interoperability, orchestration, and enterprise communication. Now to the activity in the Microsoft space. Do remember, please, that last year, we ended with revenues of about $245 million, while revenues from the Microsoft area were about $160 million. This is our major business activity, and therefore, understanding how that has been evolving and developing in Q2 does give you some idea as to the future.

Speaker #2: Now to the activity in the Microsoft space. Do remember, please, that last year we ended with revenues of about $245, while revenues from the Microsoft area were about $160.

Speaker #2: So this is our major business activity and therefore understanding how that has been evolving and developing in the second quarter does give you some idea as to the future.

Speaker #2: So we exited 2025 with Microsoft Teams revenue above $160. In the second quarter of 2026, revenue grew 5% year over year, and first half growth reached 5.6%, putting us on track for roughly 170 million by year-end, about 66% of our total company planned revenue.

Shabtai Adlersberg: We exited 2025 with Microsoft Teams revenue above $160 million. In Q2 2026, revenue grew 5% year-over-year, and H1 growth reached 5.6%, putting us on track for roughly $170 million by year-end, about 66% of our total company planned revenue. Pipeline momentum was equally encouraging. New created opportunities in the space grew 14% year-over-year, pointing to a healthy demand environment ahead. Total contract value tied to Microsoft Teams activity rose 73% year-over-year to more than $20 million in Q2, a strong evidence of the potential in this segment. I'm also pleased to report that a higher than $10 million-plus opportunity that we won several years ago with our strongest channels in the US has finally gone into production, adding several millions of those products every year over the next three years.

Speaker #2: I'm also pleased to report that a higher than $10 million plus opportunity that we won several years ago with our strongest channels in the US has finally gone into production.

Speaker #2: Adding several million dollars in product revenue every year over the next three years means the level of revenue coming from connectivity, from gateways and other sources, is going substantially up—with another $3 or $4 million every year.

Shabtai Adlersberg: Meaning, the level of revenue coming from connectivity, from gateways and other stuff is going substantially up with another three or four million every year. Overall, the Microsoft Teams voice ecosystem remains healthy. Teams Phone still accounts for only a small share of the more than 320 million monthly active Teams users. As voice grows more central to an AI-driven Copilot workplace, we believe our long-term outlook in this market remains favorable. Some representative wins in the quarter include the following. One, in the area of higher education, you receive follow-on purchase orders with a major state university with over 50 campuses totaling over $1 million, consisting of AudioCodes Live Managed Services, professional services, and CapEx purchases for phones and video conferencing systems. This amount represents the latest wave of commitment of additional schools as part of the master agreement signed with the IT administrator.

Speaker #2: In another area, we signed a contract with a global logistics company. In conjunction with the renewal of Teams live services, a long-standing global logistics customer, located in Europe, has broadened its engagement by adopting WebRTC technology globally in place of traditional toll-free numbers.

Shabtai Adlersberg: In another area, we signed a contract with a global logistics company. In conjunction with the renewal of Teams Live Services, a longstanding global logistics customer located in Europe has broadened its engagement by adopting WebRTC technology globally in place of traditional toll-free numbers.

Shabtai Adlersberg: Our success in the conversational AI segment reflects the strength of our large enterprise customer base and our unique combination of expertise across telephony, networking, security, cloud, and edge computing, collaboration technologies, and AI-driven solutions. Let me now turn to a more detailed discussion of the major business lines within this segment. Let's begin with the VoiceAI Connect and Live Hub area. Getting back to it, we delivered a record-breaking quarter driven by continuous strong growth in VoiceAI Connect solution in our Live Hub self-service cloud platform. Momentum was broad-based, supported by an accelerating pipeline, steady new logo wins, and meaningful expansion across our existing customer base. Revenue growth in H1 2026 supports our target to grow this line of business over 50% year-over-year, similar to the growth achieved in the previous year in 2025.

Speaker #2: Growth in the quarter was primarily driven by significant capacity expansion from existing customers, underscoring the scalability and mission-critical nature of our platform. A key highlight was a Tier 1 healthcare provider in the US, where we have supported a steady ramp in virtual agent and agent-assist deployments over the past three years.

Shabtai Adlersberg: Growth in the quarter was primarily driven by significant capacity expansion from existing customers, underscoring the scalability and mission-critical nature of our platform. A key highlight was a tier 1 healthcare provider in the US, where we have supported a steady ramp in virtual agent and agent-assisted deployments over the past 3 years. During the quarter, we secured a purchase order that more than doubled their existing capability, driven largely by increased adoption of virtual agents. We also saw a follow-on win with a major North American retail conglomerate, which selected VoiceAI Connect to power virtual agent experiences for its primary business unit. This builds on the success we reported last quarter with one of its subsidiaries and reflects growing enterprise-wide adoption.

Shabtai Adlersberg: Microsoft Call Automation orchestrates this interaction, Microsoft Copilot is the AI agent driving the voice agent. The entire call path runs the Microsoft stack for enterprises building their cloud and AI strategy on Microsoft. That removes a lot of friction. One technology stack, one security and compliance review, one accountable provider for implementing and ongoing support under a fully managed service. Together, these two milestones extend our leadership position in the Microsoft Teams customer experience category with Voca CIC. Microsoft Teams Phone continues to expand its footprint in the enterprise, every Teams Phone seat is potentially home for both a Teams native Contact Center and a Teams native voice agent. We expect this to translate into a stronger pipeline as enterprises move from evaluating AI voice agents to deploying them at scale. Moving on to Meeting Insights cloud edition.
