Veraz Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRAZ), a leading provider of
Multimedia Generation Network (MGN) application, control, and
bandwidth optimization products, today announced financial results
for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010, and provided an update
concerning the proposed merger with Dialogic.
“We began to see significant traction in Q2 with our SBC
product. While we are encouraged by the market response to this new
product, we saw lower than anticipated overall revenues for Q2,
largely driven by restrictions in shipping already accepted orders
in India--an issue that is being experienced by many of the
technology companies selling into Indian carriers,” said Doug
Sabella, Chief Executive Officer of Veraz Networks. “The impact of
the Indian restrictions amounted to $1.5M for Q2. However, our
order backlog remains at a near all time high, and we are confident
that our announced plans to merge with Dialogic will give us the
size and scale needed to remain a true mission critical supplier to
our customers,” said Sabella.
Financial Highlights
- Revenues were $14.7 million, a
9% decrease over the preceding quarter and a 13% decrease over the
second quarter of 2009.
- Cash used in operating
activities was $(0.4 million) and at the end of the second quarter
2010, the company had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and
short-term investments of $30.6 million and no debt.
- Gross margin was 57%, as
compared to 56% for the preceding quarter and 54% for the second
quarter of 2009.
- Operating expenses were $14.0

increase over the second quarter of 2009
- Net loss was $(6.2 million) or

loss per share in the preceding quarter and a $(2.9 million) or
$(0.07) loss per share reported in the second quarter of 2009.

stock-based compensation expenses and strategic alliance related
expenses), net loss was $(5.3 million) or $(0.12) loss per share,

Additional Information about the Proposed Merger and Where
You Can Find It

meeting of stockholders of Veraz to be held on September 30, 2010
for the purpose of voting on: the adoption of the Acquisition

PROPOSED TRANSACTION, SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY
STATEMENT AND OTHER RELEVANT MATERIALS WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE
BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED
TRANSACTION. The proxy statement and other relevant materials, and
any other documents filed by Veraz with the SEC, may be obtained
free of charge at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. In addition,
stockholders of Veraz may obtain free copies of the documents filed
with the SEC by contacting Veraz's Investor Relations department at
(408) 750-9400 or Investor Relations, Veraz Networks, Inc., 926
Rock Avenue, Suite 20, San Jose, California 95131. You may also
read and copy any reports, statements and other information filed
by Veraz with the SEC at the SEC public reference room at 100 F
Street, NE, Room 1580, Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call the SEC

information on its public reference room.
Veraz and its executive officers and directors may be deemed to
be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the
stockholders of Veraz in favor of the proposed transaction. A list
of the names of Veraz's executive officers and directors, and a
description of their respective interests in Veraz, are set forth
in the definitive proxy statement for Veraz's Special Meeting of

officers under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Some of the measures in this press release are non-GAAP
financial measures within the meaning of the SEC Regulation G.
Veraz believes that presenting non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net
loss allocable to common stockholders is useful to investors,
because it describes the operating performance of Veraz. Veraz
management uses these non-GAAP measures as important indicators of
the company's past performance and in planning and forecasting
performance in future periods. The non-GAAP financial information
Veraz presents may not be comparable to similarly-titled financial
measures used by other companies, and investors should not consider
non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or in substitution
for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP. You
are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial
measures to GAAP financial measures included elsewhere in this
press release.
In respect of the foregoing, Veraz provides the following
supplemental information to provide additional context for the use
and consideration of the non-GAAP financial measures used elsewhere
in this press release:
Stock-based compensation. These expenses consist of expenses for
employee stock options, restricted stock units and employee stock
purchases under ASC 718. Veraz excludes stock-based compensation
expenses from our non-GAAP measures primarily because they are
non-cash expenses. As Veraz applies ASC 718, it believes that it is
useful to its investors to understand the impact of the application
of ASC 718 to its operational performance, liquidity and its
ability to invest in research and development and fund acquisitions
and capital expenditures. While stock-based compensation expense
calculated in accordance with ASC 718 constitutes an ongoing and
recurring expense, such expense is excluded from non-GAAP results
because it is not an expense that typically requires or will
require cash settlement by Veraz and because such expense is not
used by management to assess the core profitability of our business
operations. Veraz further believes these measures are useful to
investors in that they allow for greater transparency to certain
line items in our financial statements. In addition, excluding this
item from various non-GAAP measures better facilitates comparisons
to our competitors' operating results.
Strategic alliance related expenses. These expenses pertain to
our strategic alliance expense with Dialogic Corporation, which we
generally would not have otherwise incurred in the periods
presented as a part of our continuing operations. Strategic
alliance related costs consist of consulting related costs for
legal, accounting and banking advice.
This press release may contain forward-looking statements
regarding future events that involve risks and uncertainties.
Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are
only predictions and may differ materially from actual future
events or results. These forward-looking statements involve risks
and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that if they do not fully
materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ
materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. The risks and uncertainties that could cause our
results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by
such forward-looking statements include but are not limited to,
statements regarding the economic environment, our customers
expansion plans, the demand for mobile voice and data services and
other risks and uncertainties described more fully in our documents
filed with or furnished to the SEC. More information about these
and other risks that may impact Veraz' business is set forth in the
"Risk Factors" section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2009 and our Quarterly report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, each as filed with the SEC.
These filings are available on a website maintained by the SEC
http://www.sec.gov/. All forward-looking statements in this press
release are based on information available to us as of the date
hereof, and we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking
statements.
