a leading provider of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) hosted
communications solutions for service providers, resellers and end-users
worldwide, today announced financial results for the first quarter 2007 ended
March 31, 2007.
First Quarter 2007 Highlights

assets.
- Collaboration with Panasonic on new GLOBARANGE line of hybrid VoIP
cordless phones.
- Launch of joip consumer VoIP service to exclusively support Panasonic
hybrid VoIP phones.

Revenues for the first quarter of 2007 totaled $8.3 million, a decrease of
$2.4 million from the $10.7 million reported for the first quarter of 2006.
In the sequential comparison, first quarter 2007 revenues declined $389,000
compared to revenues of $8.7 million reported for the fourth quarter ended
December 31, 2006.
deltathree reported a GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2007 of
$397,000 or $(0.01) per share as compared to GAAP net income of $88,000 or
$0.00 per share in the first quarter of 2006 and a GAAP net loss of $107,000
or $(0.00) per share for the fourth quarter of 2006. Approximately $191,000
of the loss recorded for the first quarter of 2007 was attributable to
amortization associated with the purchase of Go2Call in February 2007.
Gross margin for the first quarter of 2007 was 37% compared with a gross
margin of 33% for the first quarter of 2006 and 35% for the sequential quarter
comparison.
deltathree reported adjusted EBITDA, or earnings before non-cash stock-
based compensation, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, positive
results for the first quarter of 2007 totaled $158,000 or $0.01 per share,
compared to adjusted EBITDA of $485,000 or $0.02 per share in the first
quarter of 2006 and $224,000 or $0.01 per share in the sequential quarterly
comparison.
deltathree defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before 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. Adjusted EBITDA, while providing useful
information, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net
income or cash flows as determined under GAAP. Consistent with the SEC
Regulation G, 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 Operations included in this press
release.
As of March 31, 2007, deltathree held approximately $13.7 million in cash,
cash equivalents, short and long-term investments as well as restricted cash.
This represents a decrease of $3.2 million compared to the $16.9 million held
as of December 31, 2006. The sequential decline is primarily attributable to
the outlay of approximately $2.5 million in cash related to the acquisition of
Go2Call which closed during the first quarter of 2007 with the remaining cash
utilization related to operational activities during the quarter.
During the first quarter of 2007 the number of deltathree active accounts
increased to 505,000 covering consumer and service provider end user accounts,
up from 425,000 active accounts as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2006.
Contributing to the rise in active accounts during the quarter was the
migration of active accounts associated with the Go2Call acquisition which
closed during the second half of the first quarter. Active accounts are
considered those that made or received a call during the quarter. During the
same period, deltathree carried approximately 166.0 million retail minutes of
VoIP traffic flow across its network from consumers and service providers, up
from the 160.5 million carried during the fourth quarter of 2006.
deltathree Operational Review
Shimmy Zimels, President and Chief Executive Officer of deltathree,
stated, "While the first quarter 2007 financial results were disappointing,
coming in below our internal performance targets, the quarter was highlighted
by several key strategic achievements to support our outlook for growth in the
full year. Following the acquisition of the service provider and consumer VoIP
assets of Go2Call late in the first quarter, we have now substantially
completed the transition of customer accounts and expect the Go2Call business
to begin contributing to full year 2007 revenue and earnings growth. Another
important milestone during the quarter was the announcement of our strategic
collaboration with Panasonic, the worldwide leader in consumer cordless
phones, to launch Panasonic's new GLOBARANGE line of hybrid VoIP cordless
phones. In direct support of Panasonic's move into the market for Hybrid VoIP
phones, deltathree launched joip, our newly formed global consumer brand which
is the exclusive provider of VoIP services for Panasonic's GLOBARANGE line of
phones.
"These strategic initiatives were complemented by a range of new service
provider wins for our award winning Hosted Consumer VoIP Solution for
customers such as Market America, UBIUS and Korail Networks Inc. which is the
operator of South Korea's high speed rail system, as well as a leading North
American local exchange carrier. These achievements provide a range of new
growth drivers for deltathree in 2007 which we believe will help support the
Company's return to GAAP profitability and sequential revenue growth in the
near-term," concluded Mr. Zimels.

Adjusted EBITDA Financial Disclosure
Investors are cautioned that the adjusted EBITDA, or earnings before non-
cash stock-based compensation, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization,
information contained in this press release and the attached financial
information is not a financial measure under generally accepted accounting
principles. In addition, it should not be construed as an alternative to any
other measures of performance determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, 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.
