Our worldwide market share in the handset cellular baseband space increased to a record 29%, and additional high-profile CEVA-powered product introductions by first-tier handset vendors will further increase our market share going forward.
Wertheizer added, “With substantial growth in data bandwidth requirements for mobile connectivity, we are experiencing strong demand from wireless industry leaders for our flagship CEVA-XC DSP to power their LTE user equipment and facilitate network upgrades. We are also encouraged by continued traction in the home entertainment markets as another first-tier manufacturer adopted our technology during the quarter.”

Geographically, four of the agreements signed were in the U.S., four were in Asia and one was in Europe.
Yaniv Arieli, Chief Financial Officer of CEVA, stated: “We continue to show consistent progress in our financial performance. Revenues for the quarter were at the high end of our guidance and set a new record for royalty revenues for the third successive quarter. In addition, we expanded our existing stock repurchase program with an additional two million shares of common stock available for repurchase, which represents approximately 10% of the Company’s total outstanding shares. Finally, we continued to generate significant positive cash flow during the quarter.
