(NASDAQ: CEVA); (LSE: CVA), the leading licensor of silicon intellectual property (SIP) platform solutions and DSP cores for the mobile handset, portable and consumer electronics markets, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Total revenue for the first quarter of 2011 was a record $15.1 million, an increase of 42% compared to $10.6 million reported for the first quarter of 2010. First quarter 2011 licensing revenue was $5.1 million, representing an increase of 8% when compared to $4.7 million reported for the same quarter a year ago. Royalty revenue for the first quarter 2011 was a record $9.2 million, an increase of 85% compared to $5.0 million reported for the first quarter of 2010. Revenue from services for the first quarter was $0.7 million, a decrease of 18% compared to $0.9 million reported for the first quarter of 2010.

Gideon Wertheizer, Chief Executive Officer of CEVA, stated, “We are very pleased with the level of earnings growth recorded during the first quarter, which reflects the strong licensing and royalty revenue generating capabilities of our business model. Our rapid market share expansion in cellular baseband for both handsets and non-handsets continues, with more than 210 million CEVA-powered wireless chipsets shipped during the quarter. On licensing, our best of breed DSP, the CEVA-XC, was selected by new key players in the wireless infrastructure and smart grid markets, thereby continuing our expansion beyond handsets to new, strategic and high volume markets.”

U.S. GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2011 was $4.7 million, an increase of 126% over $2.1 million reported for the same period in 2010. U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2011 were $0.19, an increase of 111% compared to $0.09 for the first quarter of 2010.

Non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2011 was $5.5 million and $0.23, respectively, representing an increase of 109% and 92%, respectively, over the $2.6 million and

$0.12 reported for the first quarter of 2010. Non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2011 and 2010 excluded an aggregate equity-based compensation expense, net of taxes, of $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2011, the Company concluded seven new license agreements. Four agreements were for CEVA DSP cores, platforms and software, and three agreements were for CEVA SATA/SAS product lines. Target applications for customer deployment are 3G and 4G baseband processors for handsets, infrastructure, smart grid and SSD drives. Geographically, three of the agreements signed were in the U.S., three were in Asia and one in Europe.

Yaniv Arieli, Chief Financial Officer of CEVA, stated, “Our first quarter 2011 financial performance exceeded our expectations and produced the sixth sequential quarter of record royalty revenue. We achieved strong financial results in all aspects of our business, including GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins of 94%, as well as GAAP and non-GAAP operating margins of 32% and 39%, respectively, excluding, for purposes of non-GAAP operating margins, an aggregate equity-based compensation expense of $1 million. We also bolstered our strong balance sheet with the addition of approximately $12 million in positive cash flow. At the end of the quarter, our cash balance, marketable securities and bank deposits totaled $143 million.”
