DSP Group, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2017 Results

First Quarter GAAP Gross Margin of 43.8% and Non-GAAP Gross Margin of 44.2%, Exceeding Guidance

Office/VoIP Revenues of $6.6 Million, 30% Year-over-Year Increase

LOS ALTOS, Calif., April 27, 2017 - DSP Group^®, Inc. (NASDAQ: DSPG), a leading global provider of wireless chipset solutions for converged communications, announced today its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.

First Quarter Financial Review:

Management Comments:

Commenting on the results, Ofer Elyakim, CEO of DSP Group, stated, "Our first quarter performance reflects continued improvement in our non-GAAP gross margin of 160 bps to 44.2%, and execution of our new products strategy as evidenced by the solid year-over-year revenue growth of 30% and 42% in our Office/VoIP and IoT businesses, respectively. These initiatives, together with a modest recovery in our cordless business, more than offset the expected temporary shortfall in HDClear revenues.”

Mr. Elyakim added, “Looking ahead to the second quarter, we expect a sequential increase in revenues, propelled by shipments of our HDClear products for non-smartphone applications, market share gains in the Office/VoIP segment and gradual increase in demand for IoT products. More importantly, DSP Group is uniquely positioned to become a leader in the bourgeoning market of Voice User Interface, by leveraging our proven leadership and expertise in voice processing and low power design. We have successfully built a promising and diverse engagement pipeline with leading OEMs, which is just beginning to materialize, paving a promising path for long term growth.”

Presentation on Non-GAAP Net Income Calculation

The Company believes that the non-GAAP presentation of net income and diluted earnings per share presented in this press release is useful to investors in comparing results for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 to the same period in 2016 because the exclusion of the above noted expenses may provide a more meaningful analysis of the Company’s core operating results. Further, the Company believes it is useful to investors to understand how the expenses associated with equity-based compensation are reflected in its statements of income.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains statements that qualify as “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including Mr. Elyakim’s statements that the Company expects a sequential increase in revenues, propelled by shipments of its HDClear products for non-smartphone applications, market share gains for its VoIP products and gradual increase in demand for its IoT products, as well as the belief that the Company is uniquely positioned to become a leader in the bourgeoning market of Voice User Interface and that the pipeline with leading OEMs the Company built paves a path for long term growth. The results from these statements may not actually arise as a result of various factors, including the market penetration of new products such as products with Voice User Interface; unexpected delays in the commercial launch of new products, including in the mobile and office segments; speed of decline in the cordless market; DSP Group's ability to manage costs; DSP Group’s ability to develop and produce new products at competitive costs and in a timely manner and the ability of such products to achieve broad market acceptance; and general market demand for products that incorporate DSP Group’s technology in the market. These factors and other factors which may affect future operating results or DSP Group’s stock price are discussed under “RISK FACTORS” in the Form 10-K for fiscal 2016, as well as other reports DSP Group has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and which are available on DSP Group’s website (www.dspg.com) under Investor Relations.
