MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Total revenue for the first quarter of 2014 was $13.7 million, an increase of 13% compared to $12.1 million reported for the first quarter of 2013. First quarter 2014 licensing and related revenue was $7.9 million, representing an increase of 57% when compared to $5.0 million reported for the same quarter a year ago. Royalty revenue for the first quarter of 2014 was $5.8 million, a decrease of 19% when compared to $7.1 million reported for the first quarter of 2013.

Gideon Wertheizer, Chief Executive Officer of CEVA, stated: "We are very pleased with our first quarter results, as we managed to generate revenues and earnings above our guidance. Our strong results were driven by record licensing revenues and included two comprehensive agreements with key players in network infrastructure and smartphone chipsets. We are encouraged by the overall licensing environment for our best-of-breed DSP cores and platforms and believe that our strong fundamentals and solid product strategy will continue to propel our business forward."

U.S. GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2014 was $2.0 million, a 16% increase from $1.7 million reported for the same period in 2013. U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2014 were $0.09, an increase of 13% when compared to $0.08 for the first quarter of 2013.

Non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2014 were $3.4 million and $0.16, respectively, representing a 16% and 23% increase, respectively, over the $2.9 million and $0.13 reported for the first quarter of 2013. Non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2014 and 2013 excluded an aggregate equity-based compensation expense, net of taxes, of $1.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

During the quarter, CEVA concluded four new license agreements. Three of the agreements were for CEVA DSP cores, platforms and software and one for CEVA SATA/SAS technology. Geographically, three of the agreements signed were in the U.S and one was in Asia.

Yaniv Arieli, Chief Financial Officer of CEVA, stated: "Our first quarter results reflect the strong demand for our products as we continue to strategically expand our customer base and market reach. Royalty revenues reflect the seasonal inventory adjustment of handsets in preparation for new product releases. Looking ahead, we believe we are well positioned to benefit from the continuing industry transition towards mass market adoption of smartphones at all price points. We continued to execute on our share repurchase program, where we repurchased approximately 236 thousand shares of our common stock during the first quarter for an aggregate consideration of approximately $4.1 million. At the end of the quarter, our cash balance, marketable securities and bank deposits totaled $153 million."
