CEVA, Inc. Announces Preliminary Third Quarter 2013 Revenues and Sets Earnings Release Date

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – October 03, 2013 – CEVA, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEVA), the leading licensor of silicon intellectual property (SIP) platform solutions and DSP cores for the mobile, digital home and networking markets, today announced preliminary revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013. The company expects to report total revenues of approximately $10 million, as compared to the company’s prior guidance of $11.5 million to $12.5 million.

“Our licensing and related revenues came in lower than projected for the third quarter due mainly to not closing a significant license agreement,” noted Gideon Wertheizer, Chief Executive Officer of CEVA. “Beyond this licensing agreement, we continue to expand our licensee base and market reach beyond our core market, the cellular handset. During the third quarter, we signed four new, first-time CEVA customers for non-baseband applications for smart meters, satellite communication, automotive and connectivity. We also signed a follow-on agreement with a key player in the wireless infrastructure space.”

Third quarter operating expenses is forecasted to be higher by approximately $600,000 than previously guided, due to a delay in receiving research and development grant payments from the Office of the Chief Scientist of Israel which were not received in the third quarter, as had been forecasted. However, these grants are expected to be received in the fourth quarter.

CEVA will issue its earnings results for the third quarter on October 30th, before the NASDAQ market opens.
