For the full year 2007 period, deltathree reported a non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss of $3.8 million, or $(0.12) per share, compared to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA positive results of $2.0 million, or $0.07 per share, for the full year 2006. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss for the fourth quarter of 2007 totaled $1.9 million, or $(0.06) per share, compared to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA positive results of $224,000, or $0.01 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2006.

deltathree defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before the write down of non-cash intangible assets related to the acquisition of certain assets from Go2Call, non-cash stock-based compensation, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA as a measure of the Company’s operating trends. Investors are cautioned that adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity or of financial performance under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The adjusted EBITDA numbers presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Consistent with Regulation G under the U.S. federal securities laws, the non-GAAP measures in this press release have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure, and this reconciliation is located under the heading "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information to GAAP" following the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in this press release.

As of December 31, 2007, deltathree held approximately $8.6 million in cash, cash equivalents, short and long-term investments as well as restricted cash, with no outstanding debt.

deltathree Operational Review

Shimmy Zimels, President and Chief Executive Officer of deltathree, stated, “While we experienced sequential growth in our core VoIP service provider business, driven by our Hosted Consumer VoIP offering, our progress growing that segment of our business was more than offset by pressures in the reseller segment of our target markets. As we look back on the fourth quarter and full year 2007, we see that it was a particularly challenging period, as increased competition and pricing pressure in the VoIP reseller and direct to consumer markets, combined with increased regulatory constraints in select foreign markets, negatively impacted our business, particularly as the year progressed. In light of these factors, during the second half of the fourth quarter of 2007 and the first quarter of 2008 we began to implement a range of initiatives aimed at reducing our core operating costs, increasing operating efficiencies and ultimately reducing our quarterly cash utilization in order to streamline our operations. These initial actions include, among others, a material reduction in headcount and professional service agreements and the renegotiation of certain long-term agreements and real estate obligations.

“Our goals for 2008 focus on stabilizing our core business and accelerating the growth of our Hosted Consumer VoIP Solution targeting the service provider market, increasing margins by focusing on the most attractive segments of the global VoIP reseller markets as well as reducing our overall operating cost structure and improving our quarterly operating cash flow. To support our efforts to establish a strong foundation upon which to return deltathree to a path of long-term growth and profitability, the senior management team and Board of Directors have initiated a comprehensive review of the Company’s strategy, near-term initiatives and implementation with assistance of a strategic advisory firm,” concluded Mr. Zimels.

Adjusted EBITDA Financial Disclosure
 
Investors are cautioned that adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity or of financial performance under GAAP. In addition, it should not be construed as an alternative to any other measures of performance determined in accordance with GAAP, or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance, liquidity or cash flows generated by operating, investing and financing activities, as there may be significant factors or trends that it fails to address. Adjusted EBITDA financial information is presented because deltathree believes that it is helpful to some investors as one measure of the Company’s operations. deltathree cautions investors that non-GAAP financial information such as adjusted EBITDA, by its nature, departs from traditional accounting conventions; accordingly, its use can make it difficult to compare deltathree’s results with the results from other reporting periods and with the results of other companies.
