• Company reports 16% sequential royalty revenue growth

• Record quarterly and annual shipments of CEVA technology – 303 million units and 1.08 billion units, respectively

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – January 30, 2013 – CEVA, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEVA), the leading licensor of silicon intellectual property (SIP) platform solutions and DSP cores for the mobile, portable and consumer electronics markets, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012.

Fourth Quarter 2012

Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $13.0 million, a decrease of 19% compared to $16.0 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2011. Fourth quarter 2012 licensing revenue was $3.6 million, a 25% decrease when compared to $4.7 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2011. Royalty revenue for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $8.2 million, a decrease of 19% compared to $10.2 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2011. Other revenue for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $1.2 million, an increase of 12% when compared to $1.1 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2011, due to the licensing of development tools to a large customer in conjunction with a fourth quarter licensing agreement.

U.S. GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $2.8 million, a decrease of 43% over $4.9 million reported for the same period in 2011. U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $0.12, a decrease of 40% compared to $0.20 for the fourth quarter of 2011.

Non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $4.3 million and $0.19, respectively, representing a decrease of 33% and 27%, respectively, over the $6.4 million and $0.26 reported for the fourth quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2012 excluded an aggregate equity-based compensation expense, net of taxes, of $1.2 million, and $0.3 million related to transaction costs associated with the MIPS transaction, net of taxes. Non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2011 excluded an aggregate equity-based compensation expense, net of taxes, of $1.5 million.

Gideon Wertheizer, Chief Executive Officer of CEVA, stated, “Fourth quarter shipments of products powered by our technology reached an overall record high of 303 million units, reflecting growth across every handset market segment. Our customers continue to gain traction in the low cost 3G smartphone space and the lucrative LTE smartphone market. Also, shipment volumes of CEVA-powered 2G handsets showed sequential growth, coupled with an improved mix of 2G smartphones as compared to feature phones.”

Mr. Wertheizer continued, “Overall, 2012 was a challenging year for both CEVA and the semiconductor industry, significantly more so than was originally anticipated. Our licensing revenue was weaker than initially expected, resulting from uncertainty in the macro environment and a prolonged decision-making process by licensees for next-generation products. Despite this, we managed to license our best-of-breed technologies to major strategic customers throughout the year. Importantly, these customers are fueling adoption of our products and laying the foundation that we expect will generate future royalty revenue growth. We maintained our DSP market share leadership in the handset market, and finished the year with record volume shipments of CEVA-powered devices of approximately 1.1 billion units. Looking forward, we are ideally positioned to leverage the ongoing market trends in handsets, specifically the transition to 3G and LTE smartphones in emerging and developed economies, and capitalize on our significant customer presence across the handset industry.”

During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company concluded eight new license agreements. Five of the agreements were for CEVA DSP cores, platforms, and software and three agreements were for CEVA SATA/SAS technology. Target applications for customer deployment consisted of baseband processors, G.Fast wired modems, mobile audio and solid state drives. Geographically, two of the license agreements were in the US, one in Europe, and five in Asia, including Japan.

Full Year 2012 Review

Total revenue for 2012 was $53.7 million, a decrease of 11% compared to $60.2 million reported for 2011. Royalty revenue for 2012 was $32 million, representing a decrease of 12% compared to $36.4 million reported for 2011. Licensing revenue for 2012 was $18.2 million, a decrease of 10% compared to $20.2 million reported for 2011. Other revenue for the 2012 was $3.5 million, a decrease of 3% as compared to $3.6 million reported for 2011.

U.S. GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share for 2012 were $13.7 million and $0.59, respectively, a decrease of 26% and 23%, respectively, compared to $18.6 million and $0.77 reported for 2011.

Non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share for 2012 were $18.4 million and $0.79, respectively, representing a decrease of 22% and 19%, respectively, over the $23.5 million and $0.97 reported for 2011. Non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share for 2012 excluded an aggregate equity-based compensation expense, net of taxes, of $4.4 million and $0.3 million related to transaction costs associated with the MIPS transaction, net of taxes. Non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share for 2011 excluded an aggregate equity-based compensation expense, net of taxes, of $5.0 million.

Yaniv Arieli, Chief Financial Officer of CEVA, stated, “Our fourth quarter results produced sequential revenue and EPS growth, reflecting improved shipments and royalty revenue for our products in the third quarter. On an annual basis, 2012 proved to be a transition year for CEVA, with our customers increasing their penetration of the 3G and LTE markets, which partially offset the ramp down of CEVA-powered legacy products at two OEMs and price erosion in the 2G segment. We continued to actively exercise our share repurchase program throughout the year, buying back approximately 1.5 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $18.33 per share for a total consideration of approximately $27.2 million, illustrating our conviction in CEVA’s long-term growth prospects. As of December 31, 2012, CEVA’s cash and cash equivalent balances, marketable securities and long term bank deposits were approximately $158 million.”
