performance reflects the continued strength of our cellular baseband presence, as shipment volumes
of CEVA-powered products increased for the eleventh consecutive quarter, reaching 250 million units
during the quarter. We continue to see considerable interest in our diverse technology portfolio
from both existing and new customers, as evidenced by strategic licensing agreements with a high
volume semiconductor vendor for our new CEVA-MM3000 platform to be used for smartphones and
smart-TVs and with a tier on handset and tablet OEM for our audio platform.”
Of the eight new license agreements concluded during the third quarter of 2011, six agreements were

achieved a number of significant milestones and maintained the momentum generated during the first
half of the year. We produced record high gross margins, operating margins, non-GAAP net income and
earnings per share through a combination of solid licensing pipeline, reflecting our excellent
product portfolio, continued strength in our royalty business and a company-wide commitment to
