AudioCodes cuts salaries

VoIP technology provider AudioCodes is cutting wages across the board, a measure being taken to keep the company competitive and effective "in the face of the current global economic crisis," said CEO Shabtai Adlersberg. Line employees will take a 6 percent pay cut, while management will take a 10 percent pay cut.  

The cuts come a week after the publicly traded company announced preliminary fourth quarter 2008 unaudited revenues for the fourth quarter of 2008. AudioCodes believes it will have 4Q08 revenues between $39 million and $41 million.

In comparison, its 3Q08 results were a record $46.6 million, with GAAP net income of $3.2 million, and its 4Q07 revenues came in at $42.8 million, with GAAP income of $1.3 million. So, things aren't as bad as they seem. No job cuts, either.
