CEVA, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

 

Total revenue of $33.2 million, up 9% year-over-year

Licensing, NRE and related revenue of $22.1 million, up 42% year-over-year

Base station & IoT royalties of $7 million, up 6% year-over-year, highlighting resilience in a challenging macroeconomic environment

 

Rockville, MD, August 9, 2022 CEVA, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEVA), the leading licensor of wireless connectivity and smart sensing technologies and co-creation solutions, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

 

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2022 was $33.2 million, a 9% increase compared to $30.5 million reported for the second quarter of 2021. Second quarter 2022 licensing, non-recurring engineering (NRE) and related revenue was $22.1 million, an increase of 42% when compared to $15.5 million reported for the same quarter a year ago. Royalty revenue for the second quarter of 2022 was $11.1 million, a decrease of 26% when compared to $14.9 million reported for the second quarter a year ago. Second quarter 2021 royalty revenue included revenue of approximately $3.3 million following the resolution of a disagreement on royalty rates with a customer. Carving out the $3.3 million amount, royalty revenue for the second quarter of 2022 was down 4% when compared to the second quarter of 2021.

 

During the quarter, twenty-two IP license and NRE agreements were concluded, targeting a wide variety of smart and connected markets, including Wi-Fi 6 enabled-IoT devices, AI-driven sensors, wireless audio and satellite communications. Five of the agreements were with first-time customers. Geographically, eleven of the deals signed were in China, five in the U.S., three in APAC, and three in Europe.

 

Gideon Wertheizer, CEO of CEVA, stated: “We delivered solid second quarter results against a challenging macroeconomic backdrop. Our wireless connectivity IP continues to drive our licensing business, as it is a cornerstone of the IoT market. We continue to capitalize on our strength in wireless to make inroads to a new customer base and add value via our co-creation business proposition. In royalties, our base station & IoT category was $7 million, highlighting our resilience, as 5G RAN rollout in China and the rest of the world moves forward and our Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and cellular IoT customers leverage our IP to gain market share.”

 

GAAP operating loss for the second quarter of 2022 was $0.3 million, as compared to a GAAP operating income of $1.6 million for the same period in 2021. GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2022 was $1.1 million, as compared to GAAP net income of $0.3 million reported for the same period in 2021. GAAP diluted loss per share for the second quarter of 2022 was $0.05, as compared to a GAAP diluted income per share of $0.01 for the same period in 2021.

 

Non-GAAP operating income for the second quarter of 2022 was $4.6 million compared to $6.3 million reported for the second quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2022 were $4.3 million and $0.18, respectively, and $5.1 million and $0.22 reported for the second quarter of 2021.
