Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions (see General Instruction A.2. below):

On August 3, 2016, CEVA, Inc. (the “Company”) announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. A copy of the press release, dated August 3, 2016, is attached and filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1. This information, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934, nor shall it 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 quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the press release also included non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share (EPS) figures for (a) the quarter ended June 30, 2016 that excluded (i) equity-based compensation expenses, net of taxes, and (ii) the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles, net of taxes, associated with the Company’s acquisition of RivieraWaves SAS (the “RivieraWaves Acquisition”), and (b) the quarter ended June 30, 2015 that excluded (x) equity-based compensation expenses, net of taxes, and (y) the impact of the amortization of acquired intangibles and other costs, net of taxes, associated with the RivieraWaves Acquisition.

The Company believes that the reconciliation of financial measures in the press release is useful to investors in analyzing the results for the quarters and years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 because the exclusion of such 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.

(d) Exhibits.
