October 21, 2003

San Jose, CA - October 21, 2003 - ParthusCeva, Inc. (NASDAQ:
PCVA and LSE: PCV), the leading licensor of Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
cores and solutions to the semiconductor industry, today announced results
for the third quarter ended September 30, 2003.

Total revenues for the third quarter increased to $9.3 million,
compared with $9.1 million for the second quarter. Licensing revenues for
the third quarter were $6.5 million, compared with $6.3 million for the
second quarter. Royalty revenues in the third quarter were $1.2 million,
compared with $854,000 for the second quarter. Gross margins in the third
quarter were 85%, compared with 82% in the second quarter.

Including a restructuring charge of $1.4 million, net loss for the
third quarter was $1.1 million, compared with net income of $32,000 for
the second quarter. Excluding the restructuring charge, net income in the
third quarter was $268,000. Net loss per share for the third quarter,
including the restructuring charge, was $0.06, compared with net income
per share of $0.002 for the second quarter.

Chet Silvestri, Chief Executive Officer of ParthusCeva, commented: "I
am very pleased that ParthusCeva has maintained good revenue growth and
operating performance in the quarter. We achieved strong growth in royalty
revenues, which grew 37% quarter-on-quarter. In the fourth quarter we look
forward to maintaining our business momentum and launching our
next-generation DSP architecture, which we believe will deliver
breakthrough levels of performance and scalability to our customers."

In the third quarter, ParthusCeva signed five new license agreements
covering a range of DSP and platform-IP technologies, and announced
licensing agreements with semiconductor leaders including
STMicroelectronics, Infineon, Renasas and Via Telecom, reflective of
strong industry uptake of ParthusCeva's DSP technology. The continued
strong growth in royalty revenues reflects an increased number of
ParthusCeva licensees successfully shipping solutions powered by
ParthusCeva technology, predominantly in the wireless sector.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the third quarter were $63.5
million.

Management believes that it is useful to present net loss and expenses
figures above, excluding the restructuring charge, because management
believes that the figures provide a better picture of the company's
historical operating results and a more useful point of comparison for its
future performance.
