CEVA REPORTS SOLID FIRST QUARTER 2005 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Increased Adoption of DSP, GPS and Serial ATA Produce 22 Percent Quarterly Sequential Growth in Licensing Revenue

SAN JOSE, Calif. - April 28, 2005 - CEVA, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEVA; LSE: CVA) the leading licensor of digital signal processors (DSP), communications and multimedia solutions to the semiconductor industry, today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2005, which ended March 31, 2005. CEVA recorded 9 percent sequential growth in total revenue and profits in line with the guidance issued by the Company for the first quarter.

First Quarter 2005

Total revenue for the first quarter of 2005 was $10.0 million, an increase of 9 percent compared to the $9.2 million reported in both the first and fourth quarter of 2004. First quarter 2005 licensing revenue of $7.1 million increased 22 percent from the fourth quarter of 2004, and 7.5 percent from the first quarter of 2004.

As in the fourth quarter 2004, seven license deals were completed in the first quarter 2005, representing strength across all key product technologies including DSP, GPS and Serial ATA. Moreover, CEVA will introduce a number of new technologies in the coming months which will add to its licensing strength in the second half of the year.

First quarter 2005 royalty revenue was $1.8 million, a decrease of 13 percent compared to $2.0 million reported in the fourth quarter 2004, reflecting the seasonality of our consumer-oriented licensees’ product shipments, but up 49 percent compared to $1.2 million reported in the first quarter of 2004. The seasonality in royalty revenue in the first quarter of 2005 is similar to the 17 percent sequential decrease in royalty revenue from the fourth quarter 2003 to the first quarter 2004.

The first quarter gross margin was 87 percent compared with 89 percent in the prior quarter and 84 percent in the year ago first quarter. First quarter net income increased to $627,000 or $0.03 per share compared with fourth quarter 2004 net income of $187,000 or $0.01 per share. The Company reported net income of $409,000 or $0.02 per share in the year ago first quarter.

Commenting on the First Quarter, Chet Silvestri, Chairman and CEO of CEVA remarked:

“I am pleased to announce that the momentum we established in 2004 has continued into the first quarter of 2005, as we report a solid financial quarter with revenues and earnings both growing and the Company remaining cash flow positive. Licensing partners reported shipments of 30 million units in the first quarter of 2005 representing a 55 percent increase over the 19 million units shipped by our customers in the first quarter of 2004. We completed seven major licensing agreements during the first quarter of 2005, including major multi-use agreements for our Serial ATA and GPS 4000 technologies. During the quarter, the Company completed its first CEVA-TeakLite-II™ license. Teaklite-II is an enhanced design of the Company’s highest-volume DSP and offers better performance, functionality and speed with backward software compatibility. CEVA expects many of its existing Teaklite licensees to be interested in this upgrade, and we look forward to seeing continued growth for this product in the coming quarters.”

Solid Balance Sheet

As a result of generating cash during the quarter, the Company’s cash balances and marketable securities were $60.3 million at March 31, 2005 compared to $59.6 million at December 31, 2004.

“Our continued sales and financial discipline has significantly reduced our DSO’s from 106 days in the fourth quarter to 82 days at the end of the first quarter,” noted Christine Russell, CFO of CEVA. “We will maintain continued focus on a reduction in DSOs throughout 2005 as we have substantially tightened our payment terms on new deals. Our full year guidance remains unchanged as we see revenue in the range of $44 million to $46 million, gross margin in the range of 88 percent to 90 percent, operating expense in the range of $36 million to $37 million, and net income in the range of $3.5 million to $4.5 million.”
