ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
On May 10, 2023, CEVA, Inc. (the “Company”) announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. A copy of the press release, dated May 10, 2023, is attached and filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1. On the same day, the Company will hold a conference call to discuss its financial results for the first quarter of 2023. A copy of the script of the conference call is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2. This information, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference to such filing.
In addition to the disclosure of financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the press release and script also included non-GAAP gross margin, operating income, net income and diluted earnings per share (EPS) figures for the referenced periods.
Non GAAP gross margin for (1) the first quarter of 2023 excluded: (a) equity-based compensation expenses and (b) amortization of acquired intangibles and (2) the first quarter of 2022 excluded (i) equity-based compensation expenses and (iii) amortization of acquired intangibles.
Non-GAAP operating income for (1) the first quarter of 2023 excluded (a) equity-based compensation expenses, (b) the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles associated with the acquisition of the Intrinsix and Hillcrest Labs businesses and investments in NB-IoT technologies, and (c) costs associated with the Intrinsix acquisition and (2) the first quarter of 2022 excluded (i) equity-based compensation expenses, (ii) the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles associated with the acquisition of the Intrinsix and Hillcrest Labs businesses and investments in NB-IoT and Immervision technologies, and (iii) costs associated with the Intrinsix acquisition.
Non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share for (1) the first quarter of 2023 excluded (a) equity-based compensation expenses, (b) the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles associated with the acquisition of the Intrinsix and Hillcrest Labs businesses and investments in NB-IoT technologies, (c) costs associated with the Intrinsix acquisition and (d) income associated with the reevaluation of an investment in another company and (2) the first quarter of 2022 excluded (i) equity-based compensation expenses, (ii) the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles associated with the acquisition of the Intrinsix and Hillcrest Labs businesses and investments in NB-IoT and Immervision technologies, (iii) costs associated with the Intrinsix acquisition and (iv) loss, net of taxes, associated with the reevaluation of an investment in another company
The Company believes that the reconciliation of financial measures in the press release and script is useful to investors in analyzing the results for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 because the exclusion of the applicable expenses may provide a more meaningful analysis of the Company’s core operating results and comparison of quarterly results. Further, the Company believes it is useful for investors to understand how the expenses associated with the application of FASB ASC No. 718 are reflected on its statements of income. The reconciliation of financial measures should be reviewed in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP, and are intended to provide additional insight into the Company’s operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, offer a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company’s business. The reconciliation of financial measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company’s reported GAAP results.
