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 June 30, 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 (i) about the market traction for the company’s new products (ii) that the company expects a sequential increase in revenues for the third quarter of 2017, propelled by shipments of its SmartVoice products for non-smartphone applications and demand for its Office/VoIP products, (iii) that the company is uniquely positioned to become a leader in the bourgeoning market of voice user interface by leveraging its proven leadership and expertise in voice processing and low power design, and (iv) the company is making solid progress in augmenting its diverse engagement pipeline with leading OEMs and this materializing pipeline is paving a promising 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 SmartVoice/HDClear, VoIP, ULE and Home Gateway products; unexpected delays in the commercial launch of new products; 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.
