SAN JOSE, Calif. - July 20, 2005 - CEVA, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEVA;
LSE: CVA), the leading licensor of digital signal processor (DSP) cores,
multimedia, GPS and storage platforms to the semiconductor industry, today
announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005.

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2005 was $9.5 million, a slight
decrease of 1% as compared to $9.6 million reported for the second quarter
of 2004. Second quarter of 2005 licensing revenue was $6.6 million, a
decrease of 5% from the second quarter of 2004.

Second quarter of 2005 royalty revenue was $1.6 million, an increase of
30% as compared to $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2004. Revenue
from services was $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2005 as compared
to $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2004.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2005 was $2.2 million, as compared
to net income of $0.5 million for the second quarter of 2004. Net loss per
share for the second quarter of 2005 was $0.12, as compared to net income
of $0.03 per share for the second quarter of 2004. Results for the second
quarter of 2005 included a reorganization and severance charge of $1.7
million associated with the previously announced plans to reduce the
Company's operating expenses, primarily those related to general and
administrative functions, and a one-time impairment charge of $0.5 million
principally arising from our decision to cease the CEVA Bluetooth
technology line. This $0.5 million was comprised of the remaining
intangibles attributed to the Bluetooth technology of $0.4 million and a
$0.1 million charge related to the impairment of other redundant assets.

Pro forma net loss and pro forma net loss per share for the second
quarter of 2005, excluding the effect of the reorganization and severance
charges and the impairment of assets charges described above would have
been $49,000 and $0.003, respectively.

The Company believes that this pro forma presentation of results and
net loss per share is useful to investors in comparing the results for the
second quarter of 2005 to the same quarter of 2004, because it excludes
items that management does not consider meaningful for purposes of
analyzing the Company's operating results and making budget-planning
decisions. Specifically, the Company's management believes the exclusion
of the reorganization and impairment charges is useful to investors
because such charges may not be indicative of the Company's core operating
results when comparing the second quarters of 2004 and 2005.

In the second quarter of 2005, five new license agreements were
completed, one less than reported for the second quarter last year. Of the
five agreements signed in the quarter, three agreements were for
multimedia platforms and related software, one agreement was for Serial
ATA and one agreement was for a prepaid royalty DSP core. The customer's
target applications for these technologies are Smartphones, consumer
multimedia and networking devices.

Gideon Wertheizer, CEO of CEVA stated: "During the last few weeks we
have concluded our strategic plans with two main objectives:

• The continued focus on the development of highly integrated DSP
  based platforms composed of hardware and software for three main
  markets: Multimedia for mobile phones and consumer products, GPS for
  mobile phones and automotive and Serial ATA (SATA) for consumer
  electronics and servers.

• Increased efficiency in the day-to-day operations of the company. In
  this respect we identified cost savings of approximately $2 million for
  2005 relative to the company's previous 2005 operating expense guidance
  of $36 million to $37 million."

Mr. Wertheizer continued: "The licensing activities in this quarter
indicate a clear shift in customer preference away from the traditional
approach of licensing standalone DSPs, and towards licensing highly
integrated application platforms incorporating all the necessary hardware
and software for their target applications. Our customers perceive this
'one-stop-shop' approach as having higher value in terms of
time-to-market, lower complexity and related research and development
costs".

To further enrich CEVA's multimedia product offering, we recently
unveiled CEVA-Audio, a fully programmable, low-power, low-cost digital
audio platform targeting high-volume consumer products such as portable
MP3 players and cell phones. CEVA-Audio also lowers development costs and
reduces time-to-market for customers developing audio applications, both
crucial factors for success in these high-volume, rapidly evolving
markets.

Finally, as part of our ongoing strategy to re-focus the business, the
Company has decided to cease development of our Bluetooth product line.
Bluetooth has become a commodity item and differentiation between
competing solutions is minimal. In addition, the short-range wireless
market is migrating towards more powerful standards such as WiFi and Ultra
WideBand where Bluetooth will not be needed. CEVA will continue to support
its existing Bluetooth customers throughout their deployment process."
