**Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.**

On November 10, 2025, Ceva, Inc. (the "Company") announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. A copy of the press release, dated November 10, 2025, is attached and filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1. On the same day, the Company held a conference call to discuss its financial results for the third quarter of 2025. 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 Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference to such filing.

In addition to the disclosure of financial results for the quarters and years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 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 income per share for the referenced periods.

Non-GAAP gross margin for the third quarters of 2025 and 2024 each excluded (a) equity-based compensation expenses and (b) the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles.

Non-GAAP operating income for the third quarters of 2025 and 2024 each excluded (a) equity-based compensation expenses, (b) the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles and (c) costs associated with an asset acquisition.

Non-GAAP net income and diluted income per share for (1) the third quarter of 2025 excluded (a) equity-based compensation expenses, (b) the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles and (c) costs associated with an asset acquisition and (2) the third quarter of 2024 excluded (a) equity-based compensation expenses, (b) the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles, (c) costs associated with business acquisitions and (d) income associated with the remeasurement of marketable equity securities.

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 September 30, 2025 and 2024 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.

**ROCKVILLE, MD., November 10, 2025** – Ceva, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEVA), the leading licensor of silicon and software IP for the Smart Edge, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was $28.4 million, compared to $27.2 million reported for the third quarter of 2024. Licensing and related revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was $16.0 million, compared to $15.6 million reported for the same quarter a year ago. Royalty revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was $12.4 million, compared to $11.6 million reported for the third quarter of 2024.

Amir Panush, Chief Executive Officer of Ceva, commented: "We exceeded expectations on both revenue and non-GAAP diluted income per share this quarter, driven by strong licensing execution and healthy royalty growth. In licensing, we secured several strategic agreements that reinforce our leadership in wireless connectivity and accelerate our expansion in AI. The headline win was a portfolio license for our full NeuPro NPU family with Microchip, one of the world's leading microcontroller and connectivity providers. We also signed additional AI DSP agreements and secured connectivity design wins for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth High Data Throughput IP. With AI processor licensing now contributing meaningfully and wireless IoT shipments at record highs, Ceva is well positioned for sustainable growth as a foundational technology provider of intelligent, connected devices - leading the way in enabling Physical AI at the edge."

During the quarter, twelve IP licensing agreements were completed, targeting a wide range of end markets and applications, including NPU for AI across industrial, consumer, automotive and other end markets, AI DSP for automotive ADAS and home appliances, communications DSPs for vehicle-2-everything (V2X) and satellite, and Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity for a wide range of consumer, wearables, smart home and industrial smart edge devices. One of the deals signed was with a first-time customer and one was with a major worldwide consumer OEM.

GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of 2025 was 88%, compared to 85% in the third quarter of 2024. GAAP operating loss for the third quarter of 2025 was $2.1 million, as compared to a GAAP operating loss of $2.6 million for the same period in 2024. GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2025 was $2.5 million, as compared to a GAAP net loss of $1.3 million reported for the same period in 2024. GAAP diluted loss per share for the third quarter of 2025 was $0.10, as compared to GAAP diluted loss per share of $0.06 for the same period in 2024.

Non-GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of 2025 was 89%, as compared to 87% for the same period in 2024. Non-GAAP operating income for the third quarter of 2025 was $3.1 million, as compared to non-GAAP operating income of $2.1 million reported for the third quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP net income and diluted income per share for the third quarter of 2025 were $2.7 million and $0.11, respectively, compared with non-GAAP net income and diluted income per share of $3.4 million and $0.14, respectively, reported for the third quarter of 2024.

Yaniv Arieli, Chief Financial Officer of Ceva, added: "AI processor licensing contributed approximately one-third of licensing revenue in both the second and third quarters of 2025, marking a major milestone for our AI business. These wins are multi-year agreements that we believe provide good visibility into future revenue streams. Royalty revenue grew 16% sequentially and 6% year-over-year, driven by record wireless IoT shipments, including new highs in Wi-Fi 6 and cellular IoT. We remain focused on disciplined expense management and profitability improvement. In addition, we were active in our share repurchase program, buying back 40,295 shares for approximately $1 million in the quarter, and approximately $7.2 million year-to-date."

With that said, I'd like to turn the call over to Amir who will review our business performance for the quarter and provide some insight into our ongoing business.

**<u>Amir</u>**

Thank you, Richard, and good morning, everyone.

We are pleased to report a third quarter that exceeded our expectations on both revenue and non-GAAP EPS, with revenue of $28.4 million and non-GAAP EPS of $0.11.

In licensing, we secured several strategic agreements that reinforce our market-leading position in wireless connectivity and accelerate our expansion in AI. This quarter was marked by strong execution across our core pillars - Connect, Sense, and Infer - and highlights the breadth and strength of our IP solution portfolio.

The most significant win this quarter was in AI, where Microchip, one of the world's leading microcontroller and connectivity providers and whose products power billions of devices across industrial, consumer, automotive and other end markets - adopted our full NeuPro NPU portfolio for its future roadmap. This win is a strong proof point of a broader industry trend: major MCU and semiconductor vendors are embedding AI capabilities across their product lines, bringing more on-device intelligence for performance, user experience, privacy and cost.

Selecting Ceva gives Microchip a complete portfolio of edge-AI inference solutions - from ultra-low-power inference for MCUs to high-performance AI in advanced systems - all under a unified software stack. This flexibility allows them to standardize AI deployments across industrial, automotive, consumer, communications and compute markets without compromising on power or cost.

Let me take a moment to talk about the role of NPUs in the broader AI ecosystem. At the end of the day, an NPU is an optimized compute engine for AI inference - just as CPUs orchestrate system control and GPUs accelerate graphics. Companies rarely reinvent CPUs or GPUs; they license proven processor IP and focus on system, integration and software differentiation. We believe NPUs will follow the same path. Licensing a proven and scalable NPU architecture delivers the performance and scalability customers need while freeing resources to focus on software, optimized models, and application-specific experiences.

Ceva is uniquely positioned to lead this transition with a full-range NPU portfolio, a unified software framework and tools, and a strong partner ecosystem. This enables customers to focus on differentiated models and experiences while we provide the scalable, proven technology foundation. Our recent NeuPro engagement with a leading MCU vendor is a powerful validation of this approach.

Beyond the NeuPro portfolio win, we signed three AI DSP agreements that broaden our reach across consumer electronics and automotive:

● A leading global electronics brand is integrating our AI DSP into its next-generation edge SoC family for home appliances, enabling vision, voice and contextual awareness in connected devices;

● A high-profile automotive customer expanded its use of Ceva AI DSPs and accelerators for centralized compute platforms now entering production; and

● A new engagement with an innovative ADAS chiplet-architecture company, strengthening our position in automotive.

AI processor licensing is now a meaningful and growing part of our business, contributing roughly one-third of licensing revenue in both the second and third quarters - the first time AI has had such a significant impact on our licensing mix. In addition, these AI agreements typically carry a higher royalty potential than our traditional licensing business, further enhancing long-term value.

Moving on to wireless connectivity, which represents a core pillar of our growth strategy, and a powerful cross-sell engine into AI, we had another impactful quarter. We delivered wins in both established standards - Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5 - and next-generation standards. This quarter, a long-term customer licensed our latest Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth High Data Throughput IP for upcoming roadmaps. These standards offer higher throughput, lower latency and improved power efficiency, which are essential for advanced audio, wearables, robotics and broader Physical-AI use cases. These transitions are not one-off wins; they cement multi-year royalty ramps as customers build on prior generations and continue forward with Ceva technologies as core enablers of connectivity and AI.

By consistently delivering end-to-end, multi-standard connectivity solutions together with advanced sensing and AI IP, we provide a unified foundation for intelligent, connected devices. This positions us as the de facto partner for next-generation connectivity and strengthens our leadership as AI and sensing adoption expands across markets.

Turning to royalties, we delivered solid growth across most of our markets, with royalties up 6% year-over-year and 16% sequentially. Consumer IoT was a key driver, posting 9% year-over-year growth, supported by record shipments in cellular IoT and Wi-Fi. Our 5G RAN infrastructure customers also had a strong quarter, with revenues up 91% compared to last year. In automotive, two large semiconductor customers continued to ramp up volume shipments for ADAS solutions, based on our AI DSP, contributing to overall royalty growth in the quarter and beyond. Mobile royalties grew 4% year-over-year and 7% sequentially, driven by a recovering low-end smartphone segment. At the high end, our U.S. OEM customer launched a second smartphone model featuring its in-house 5G modem with Ceva technology, and as this model expands into more markets in the fourth quarter, we expect further royalty growth.

In summary, this quarter's AI-led licensing momentum and continued progress in wireless connectivity highlight the breadth and scalability of our IP across Sense, Connect and Infer. These wins strengthen our pipeline, increase visibility into future revenue streams, and reinforce Ceva's role as a foundational technology provider for intelligent, connected and increasingly Physical AI devices.

I'll now hand the call over to Yaniv for the financials.

**<u>Yaniv</u>**

Thank you, Amir. I'll now start by reviewing the results of our operations for the third quarter of 2025.

Revenue for the third quarter was $28.4 million, up 4% compared to $27.2 million for the same quarter last year and up 11% sequentially. The revenue breakdown is as follows:

Licensing and related revenue totaled $16.0 million, representing 56% of total revenue for the quarter. This reflects a 3% year-over-year increase and a 7% sequential increase. Licensing revenue for the first three quarters of 2025 reached $46.1 million, a 4% increase compared to $44.3 million in the same period of 2024. As Amir noted, this growth primarily reflects strong traction in AI, following multiple significant design wins for our NPUs and AI DSPs. AI processor licensing contributed roughly one-third of licensing revenue in both the second and third quarters, demonstrating solid momentum and strategic progress. These wins underscore the importance of our NeuPro NPU portfolio and AI DSP offerings as key growth drivers going forward.

Royalty revenue for the third quarter was $12.4 million, reflecting 44% of total revenues, a 16% sequential increase and a 6% increase year-over-year. Consumer IoT was a key driver, posting 9% year-over-year growth, supported by record shipments in cellular IoT and Wi-Fi.

Gross margin came slightly better than our guidance, at 88% on a GAAP basis and 89% on a non-GAAP basis, compared to 85% and 87%, respectively, a year ago.

Total GAAP operating expenses for the third quarter were $27.1 million, at the higher end of our guidance.

Total non-GAAP operating expenses for the third quarter, excluding equity-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangibles and related acquisition costs, were $22.1 million, at the higher end of our guidance, mainly due to higher employee benefit provisions associated with better financial results.

**<u>Now for the guidance</u>**

Our licensing business remains strong, supported by robust pipeline and deal flow across our three core pillars - Connect, Sense, and Infer. We've delivered six consecutive quarters with licensing revenue above $15 million, underscoring consistent execution. Royalty revenues typically strengthen in any given second half, and third quarter reflected this trend with 16% sequential growth and 6% year-over-year growth. Looking ahead, we expect continued seasonal momentum in the fourth quarter, driven by share gains at a U.S. OEM smartphone customer using our technology in its in-house 5G modem, and by strong ramps in Wi-Fi and cellular IoT.<br> We are maintaining our full-year revenue guidance as previously discussed and aligned with Street estimates for the year.

**<u>As for the fourth quarter:</u>**

● Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $29 to $33 million.

● Gross margin is expected to remain high and be same as in the third quarter, approximately 88% on a GAAP basis and 89% on a non-GAAP basis, excluding an aggregate of $0.2 million of equity-based compensation expenses and $0.1 million amortization of acquired intangibles.

● GAAP OPEX is expected to be higher than the third quarter, in the range of $27 million to $28 million. Of our anticipated total operating expenses for the third quarter, $4.7 million is expected to be attributable to equity-based compensation expenses, $0.2 million for amortization of acquired intangibles and $0.1 million for expenses related to a business acquisition.

● Non-GAAP OPEX is also expected to be higher than the third quarter, in the range of $22 million to $23 million.

● Net interest income is expected to be approximately $1.5 million.

● Taxes for the third quarter are expected to be approximately $1.8 million.

● Share count for the third quarter is expected to be 25.8 million shares.
